ITALIAN postage stamps received from a fellow stamp collector.
The stamp on the far left depicts the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The second stamp from the left features "Monreale - Il Pantocrator," which refers to the Christ Pantocrator mosaic in the Cathedral of Monreale, Sicily.
The third stamp shows a stylized female head, which is a common depiction of Italia Turrita, the national personification of Italy.
The fourth stamp also features a female portrait, possibly another depiction of Italia Turrita or a historical figure.
The stamps have various values, including €0.41, 800 lire, 500 lire, 3000 lire, and 650 lire. The use of both euros and lire indicates they were issued before and after Italy's transition to the euro in 2002.
