Italia 2026, continues to lead the way in digital innovation with a new approach to the catalogue of the entries
The catalogue of the exhibition entries is very innovative – for the first time in the history of philatelic exhibitions. All entries are added to the website’s catalogue as soon as they are received. Go to the link italia2026.filatelia.info select ‘Exhibit’ and then a class. For each entry, there is an image of the hard-copy cover or, for digital entries, of the homepage. Clicking on the title takes you to the details page: all the technical specifications, the prices and where to order the entry are listed. In this way, participants can promote their work, and users can access a range of useful information about those entries that interest them most.
Italia 2026 continues to lead the way in cultural and digital innovation!
