The Italian Embassy and consulates in Brazil, in
partnership with the Italian Institute of Culture in Brazil conceived a project
called Momento Itália-Brasil celebrating the good relationship existing between
Brazil and Italy and valorizing the influence of the Italian immigrants within
the Brazilian society. During nine months (from October 2011 up to June 2012),
Italians and Brazilians will join in hundred of events all over the country. The
Program will embrace various categories: architecture and design; art and
culture; science and technology; the cinema; corporations and the economy;
gastronomy; sports; parties and fairs; fashion; music; theater; dance and the
Italians in Brazil.
The stamp issued on October 12, 2011 is part of the
Diplomatic Relations Series and depicts the logo of the Program Momento
Itália-Brasil: it assembles in an artistically manner two images portraying The
Coliseum in Rome and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro - both
of which are counted among the Seven Wonders of the World. The color green is
used for the background and can be found in the flags of both countries. The
colors red, yellow and white, composing the image of the stamp, also allude to
the flags.
