Nells250 - Re: Billiards. After you get your new eyeglass prescription filled, check out my Denmark stamp post on page 2 of this thread.  La Partita a scacchi di Marostica ("The Living Chess Game of Marostica") dates back to 1454, when Lord Taddeo Parisio decreed that the two suitors for the hand of his daughter Linora must play a game of chess instead of engaging in the customary sword duel. Their chess match is reenacted for tourists every other September with live chess pieces as part of a weekend festival in Marostica which includes Renaissance period music and dances, parades and fireworks. Here is an image of a stamp depicting the Partita a scacchi, designed by Italian artist and engraver Antonio Ciaburro (1951- ), printed by photogravure, and issued by Italy on May 4, 1981, Scott No. 1455. - nethryk  |

Here is an image of an airmail stamp depicting chess pieces and a chessboard, combined engraved and lithography (Dai Nippon Printing Co., Japan), and issued by Nicaragua on December 12, 1963 as one of a set of 13 "sports" stamps, Scott No. C531. FENANIC is the acronym for the Federación Nacional de Ajedrez de Nicaragua. The Olympic rings seem to be quite out of place on this one. - nethryk  |
