Issued in 1997, this vibrant Italian commemorative stamp celebrates the nation’s agricultural heritage as part of the Il Lavoro Italiano (Italian Work) series. The illustration by L. Vangelli unites key symbols of Italy’s farming tradition: olive branches, cereal grains, corn, citrus fruits, grapes, and a radiant sunflower—each representing regions and crops central to Italian identity and economy. Printed by the State Mint and Printing Works (I.P.Z.S., Rome), the design emphasizes both productivity and the deep cultural connection to the land. Its bold colours and stylised art make it a popular thematic item for collectors of agriculture, industry, and Italian heritage.
