The Vatican City State, the Italian Republic, the Republic of San Marino, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, issued on September 7, 2025, two joint postal issues to celebrate the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati. The four postal entities issued stamps based on the same pictures, on one side a portrait of Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925), by the painter Alberto Falchetti (1878-1951), owned by the Frassati family, on the other one, a photograph of Carlo Acutis (1991-2006), during one of his last school trips before his untimely death. The canonization took place on Sunday, September 7, 2025, in St. Peter’s Square, presided over by Pope Leo XIV. Details about stamps are not yet available, but reproductions were provided by Enzo Cafaro, Italy.
