Issued by Italy in 1970, this 50-lira commemorative stamp honors Jacopo Tatti, known as Il Sansovino (1486–1570), one of the leading sculptors and architects of the Italian Renaissance. The design features his celebrated architectural masterpiece, the Libreria Marciana in Venice, a hallmark of classical harmony and Venetian grandeur. Printed in rich brown tones, the stamp was engraved by V. Nicastro and produced by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, Rome. It forms part of Italy’s artistic series paying tribute to masters of Renaissance architecture.
