title: DIVING AT THE ROME OLYMPICS

subject date: 2004-04-23

caption: OLYMPICS ''Rome, Memory of the Olympics, 11-9-1960''. The writing in Latin alphabet and Chinese characters surrounds a scene representing diving, a water sport specialty practiced here by women, enclosed by an oval line in blue, which connects to a laurel branch on which the five Olympic rings are superimposed, curiously supplemented by a sixth that encloses the date ''1960''. Commemorative postcard Stufidre Edition, Anzio (RM), franked on the front with a postmark also commemorating the Games of the XVII Olympiad, with a double special cancellation: one regulation on the stamp and one in a neutral background area, so that the writings dedicated to the closing ceremony and the logo with the Olympic rings surmounted by the Capitoline Wolf on the podium ''MCXLX'' are clearly legible, together with the date. Philatelic issue and stamp of the Italian Post Office on the occasion of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games held in Rome from 25 August to 11 September 1960.
