Saverio Imperato (1935 – 2020)
It is with regret that we inform you of the death of Saverio Imperato, a great Italian philatelist, on 20 November 2020.
A brilliant professor of immunology, he was well known around the world for his charming personality, his assiduous participation in international exhibitions and his determination to compete for the top awards. He started under a pseudonym at Buenos Aires 80, but his formal career took off at España 84 where he was awarded the Grand Prix International for his exhibit of Tuscany. Over the years he moved from Traditional to Postal History, spacing through the challenging range of almost all the Old Italian States until his last Gold Medal in Budapest (2011). In all his exhibits were awarded 6 Grands Prix, 60 Large Gold medals and 19 Gold. He will be remembered for the amazing wealth of his material, the depth of his knowledge and his almost constant presence on the international stage for more than a quarter of a century.
R.I.P.

Austrian National Exhibition (ÖVEBRIA) held successfully in St. Pölten
Congratulations to the Austrian Federation (VÖPh) which has succeeded – in the face of all the current restrictions – in holding ÖVEBRIA 2020, its national exhibition with international participation, live in Sankt Pölten from 2nd – 4th October 2020.
The local authority agreed to allow the exhibition to take place as a special fair but the necessary health guidelines had to be followed which required careful planning and restrictions. Even so, it attracted many visitors to see an extensive range of philatelic exhibits (approx 500 square metres) from Austria and further afield, especially from Heidenheim in Germany which is partnered with St Pölten.
The show was opened by Matthias Stadler, the Mayor of St Pölten, who thanked the organisers for their work especially at this difficult time (Photo above).
A special stamp (‘Tag Der Briefmarke’) was issued to mark the occasion. The photo above shows (from left) Stefan Nemeth (Austrian Post), Dr Anita Kern (Designer), Alfred Kunz (FEPA representative), and Mag. Helmut Kogler (President of the St Pölten Philatelic Club) at the presentation.
ÖVEBRIA has FEPA recognition and a special FEPA award was made at the show to Mag. Helmut Kogler, President of the St Pölten Club and also of the Austrian Federation, by FEPA Board Member Alfred Kunz (Photo above).
