ITALY 1976

Italian Republic stamps from 1976, available online at Io Collezionista. In 1976, the year these Italian Republic stamps were issued, Lotta Continua (LC) disbanded. It had been an important formation of the extra parliamentary left and had also given its name to a weekly paper. The dissolution was caused not only by a disappointing election result, just 1 seat for LC out of the 6 won by the joint lists it had joined, but also by the exhaustion of the movement's initial spontaneous drive. Among the higher value Italian Republic stamps of 1976 is a 150 Lire stamp from 1976. The main Stamps category also offers other subcategories devoted to specific historical periods, such as Italian States Stamps and Italian Colonies Stamps.
