Pordenone, Italy

Postmarked in Pordenone at the post office on via Santa Caterina. A pair of stamps from 2020. The stamp on the left depicts Tuscany's Etruscan Coast. The Etruscans were an ancient pre-Roman Italian civilization and the Etruscan Coast is a strip of the western Etruscan coastline that is now part of Tuscany, stretching from Livorno to Piombino. The stamp on the right commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Financial Guards Alpine school in Predazzo. The Italian Financial Guards are a militarized police force that deals with financial crimes, customs and border patrol.
