Fiume Stamps Philatelic Exhibition

The history of Fiume told through stamps

Stamps and postal documents retrace over a century and a half of Rijeka's history. The exhibition "Rijeka 1850-2018 Rijeka. Rijeka Philately: Myth, History, and Economy 1918-1924" opened at the Garbas Gallery on Calle Canapini. The exhibition is being presented again in Rijeka by the same authors, following its initial exhibition in 2018 at the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera, Gabriele D'Annunzio's historic residence, and its subsequent stop in Monfalcone.

The exhibition comprises twelve panels, now presented in bilingual Italian and Croatian. Original stamps and other philatelic material have also been placed in the display cases, allowing visitors to closely observe the traces left by the city's various eras. The inauguration was attended, among others, by Senator Carlo Giovanardi, the president of the Italian Community of Rijeka, Enea Dessardo, and the vice president of AFIM, Andor Brakus.
