Vintage Sardinia stamps (part of Italy)

A Legacy of the Risorgimento This hand-curated archive features authentic vintage postage stamps from the Kingdom of Sardinia, documenting the pivotal era leading to the unification of Italy. These artifacts represent the foundational period of Italian philately, featuring the classic embossed profiles of King Victor Emmanuel II. These stamps are not only significant for their historical role in the Risorgimento (Italian Unification) but also for their distinct classical design, which served as the blueprint for the first national issues of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
