Centenary of the Postal Palace in Piazza Redentore

Date: 20 May 2026

Location: Piazza del Redentore, Caserta — Historic Postal Palace

The Postal Palace of Caserta marked its 100th anniversary with a public ceremony focused on historical memory and the promotion of local cultural heritage. The event brought together postal staff, cultural institutions and civic authorities, featuring speeches, musical interludes and philatelic initiatives for collectors.

• Main program: a meeting in the Aula Caserta with staff from the piazza Duomo office, presentations by historians and archivists, and a musical performance by an orchestra of postal employees.
• Speakers and guests: Alberto Zaza D’Aulisio (Storia Patria di Terra di Lavoro), Fortunata Manzi (State Archive of Caserta), Deputy Police Chief Marta Sabino and the Municipality's Extraordinary Commissioner Antonella Scolamiero.
• Highlights: a pause outside to admire the historic façade, the first special cancellation applied to a postcard showing the building as it appeared in the 1940s, and the presentation of a limited-edition philatelic folder.
• Philatelic edition: the folder was issued by Poste Italiane in a limited run of 1,500 copies, aimed at collectors and local history enthusiasts.

The event reinforces the palace's status as both a public service building and a cultural landmark. Visitors and collectors interested in the commemorative material or guided visits are advised to contact local Poste Italiane offices or the State Archive for availability and further information.
