Italia 2009 is a great philatelic Festival to be held in Rome, at the Palazzo dei Congressi, from 21 to 25 October 2009.
Its organisation is taken care by Poste Italiane together with FSFI, the Federation of the Italian Philatelic Societies and AFIP, the Association of Italian Philatelic Traders.
Italia 2009 will include a competitive exhibition open to collectors from European and from the other Mediterranean countries, as well as from Canada, United States of America, Argentina, South Africa, and Australia, namely countries particularly close to Italy due to the large communities of Italian immigrants and their descendants.
The exhibition is structured in the following classes: aerophilately, thematic philately, traditional philately, maximaphily, postal history, and philatelic literature. It is under the patronage of FEPA (Federation of European Philatelic Associations), with the recognition of FIP (International Federation of Philately).
