The Istituto di studi storici postali ‘Aldo Cecchi’ odv is moving to a larger and more convenient facility, also in Prato. Work is now in progress to adapt the rooms and equip them with the security measures required by the law. Meanwhile, work is in progress on the move.
That is why we are promoting the initiative ‘A shelf for the Institute’. To cover the costs and involve all those who care about the preservation of postal culture, we have a proposal: donate 100€ to ‘adopt’ a shelf in the library, which will bear the name of the donor with a special plaque.
It goes without saying that you can donate a higher sum, for example:
1,000 € for an entire piece of furniture
2,000 € for a table and chairs
20,000 € for a whole room
