Here is an Arrivi e Partenze (Arrivals and Departures) cancellation from a Savona airport.
To the best of my knowledge, the entire Province of Savona is served through the Cristoforo Colombo Airport in Genoa and their stamps usually say "Genoa" or "C.C. Genoa" or "C.C.G.". So I'm wondering at which airport this cancellation originated. Any ideas? TIA.

Hi all,
there are not airports in Savona. I think it's a cancellation of the railway station post office.

Hi Fabio.
I knew that most traffic in the Savona area was handled by the Cristoforo Colombo in Genoa but the Air Mail Stamp with a plane on it sure threw me off.
I never thought of a railway station Arrivi e Partenze cancel.
I'm growing old.
Thank you.

Hi Tony, this is not an air mail stamp. It's a commemorative stamp for 50 years from first air mail stamp of the world. In the pic you can see the aeroplane "Pomilio PC 1" which transported first airmail.
