ITALY 1956

Italian Republic stamps from 1956, for sale at Io Collezionista. In April 1956, the year to which these Italian Republic issues belong, the first number of Il Giorno appeared, a daily paper willed into being by Enrico Mattei, founder and president of the national hydrocarbons authority ENI from 1953 to 1962, when he died in a tragic air crash. The aim of Il Giorno was to offer an alternative to the other Milanese papers, the Corriere della Sera among them, and also to give Mattei an instrument with which to answer the criticism directed at him by private industry.
