| Abstract: | The "Europa" stamp set for this year features two of the finest monuments in the Co-Cathedral of St. John in Valletta. Both monuments can be seen in the Chapel of St. George, which was the National Chapel of the Langue of Aragon, Catalonia and Navarre of the Hospitaller Order of St. John. The monument to Grand Master Nicola Cotoner, featured on the 7c stamp, is probably the work of the Florentine sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini (1652-1725). The 25c stamp depicts the monument to Grand Master Ramon Perellos, which is the work of Giuseppe Mazzuoli, of Siena, (1644-1725). [excerpt] |
