Thank you so much to Lucy for sending me card from her vacation. My first written and stamp card from Vatican city comes as country #151 on my list.
The card reads: St Peter's. The Basilica is the work of great artists from the Roman renaissance; L. B. Alberti, Bramante, Raffaello, Michelangelo.
"Vatican City (officially the Vatican City State (Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano), is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 842, it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population."
The stamp was issued on 19 February 2015, it is 1 of a set of 4 issued to commemorate Pontificate of Pope Francis 2015.
