Issued in 1970 as part of the Europa CEPT series, this Italian two-stamp set features the famous “woven pattern” symbolizing European unity and cooperation. Designed by Irish artist Louis Le Brocquy, the motif represents the interlacing threads of communication and collaboration among European nations. The 50 Lire stamp appears in vibrant red, while the 90 Lire issue is rendered in deep green. A modernist masterpiece, these stamps stand among the most iconic Europa designs of the era and are prized by thematic and Europa collectors alike.
