Francobollo Portogallo - PontiFor the jagged tribute to tourism, the spotlight of the jurors was directed to the leaflet with which Portugal updated the thematic indications of PostEurop: bridges of the past and present put to Comparison. On the right is the ancient artifact made between the end of the first and the beginning of the second century by Marco Ulpio Traiano on the river Tomega, in Chaves, 140 meters long and more meters long and resting on 12 arches: one of the most daring in the country, and on the left the futuristic Lisbon Bridge that takes the No. Vasco da Gama, opened in 1998 to mark the half-millennium of the arrival of the navigator in India and as part of that year's International Expo. Bridges that are synonymous with outdated obstacles, travel, knowledge and friendship. And that André Chiote,the author of the images, proposes through an "original conceptual and graphic insertion" inserted in to a "strikingfull-screen landscape dominated by a long period bridge".

"I am very happy with this recognition that rewards our ongoing efforts tomake more and more communicative stamps",admitted Isabel Fonseca of the Lisbon Post Office present at the ceremony that took place on the Square Room of the Municipal Palace of Asiago.

Francobollo Ucraina - InsettiAt the Post Office of Ukraine went "Asiago" jagged destined for theenvironment. Six local insects, designed for the occasion by S. and O. Kharuk,"fundamentalprotagonists but too often ignored inthe protection of the natural habitat ", in the emission presented: "through descriptive but uncommon images, very clean and from the unusual incision treatment in an open format that enhances thedetails." In this case the prize was withdrawn by Roman Goriajnov,Consul General of Ukraine and Consul Yevhen Shkvyra.

"Duringthese years," admitted Mayor Roberto Rigoni Stern, "in this Hall of The Squares of City Hall it has been possible to demonstrate how the stamp represents an eloquent and significant form of universal language it limits only to the pursuit of functional goals but achieves qualified expressions of figurative beauty, that beauty that we all admire today in the expressive forms of award-winning stamps." This was possible, according to the first citizen, thanks to the Philatelic and Numismatic Circle 7municipalities, whose greeting was brought by Maurizio Stella, who was able to enhance the initiative, making it "one of the more qualified philatetic appointments."

Alongside the three awards of the Asiago International Prize of PhilatelicArt, there have been those of two prestigious academy, the Olympicacademy, active since 1555 and that, from the most recent births, of Filatelia and history postal service.  The Vicentina cultural institution, currently chaired by Gaetano Thiene, who is also president of the Asiago Prize, has converged its choice on the "narrative" family through three denticles signed by the Alexandrian illustrator Riccardo Guasco on his philatelic debut. "Iam doubly happy that this award has been given to the series dedicated to International Day of Families: for the great importance that the concept of family assumes in these small stamps and the many interpretations to which it opens, providing, I hope, new ideas for reflection and dialogue on thesetopics."

In celebrating international family day, San Marino exalted, the emphasis is by Gaetano Thiene, "the high symbolic value" of thefamily, in a social context that records the "decrease in births and the increase in separations of spouses that are critical factors, which threaten their values." Values represented "in a culturally unusual, positive and unconventional way", reinventing almost "thefamily topic: as an embrace that gives form the home and shelter to children, as an engaging search for balance between those who compose it, as a long pedaled over the wholeworld"

Love is also the common thread of the Slovenianstamp, to which went the recognition of the Academy of Philately and Postal History presided by Franco Filanci. Dedicated to the Valentine's day, the tooth, signed by Barbara Kocjanich and produced in the now customary heart format, proposes "anunpublished update of the display to social evolution and the new means of communication, and the serenade belongs to the woman who proposes love to the man, on the balcony of the inevitable mobilephone.

In handing over the plaque of the Academy of Philately and Postal History to the Consul General of Slovenia Vojko Volk and Damiah Lah,of the Slovenian Post Office, Franco Filanci, he congratulated the winning countries "for understanding how the stamp is really a means of communication, and therefore should be used in a suitable way to attract the attention of the public. And this is possible not only with intelligent creativity – which, among other things, can also make the stamp rise to artistic expression – but also a priori, avoiding political or financial celebrations that it is difficult if not impossible to visualize in a way comprehensible."

On the other hand, recalled Pietro La Bruna,Head of North East of the Private Market of Italian Post, along with the flag the stamp spreads the nationalidentity.
