Issued by Italy in 1988, this 500 Lire commemorative stamp promotes awareness and hope in the treatment of epilepsy. The design by G. Toffoletti shows Saint Valentine—traditionally regarded as the patron saint of those with epilepsy—standing beside two afflicted figures. Above them, colorful EEG waveforms symbolize the transition from disorder (red) to stability (green). The inscription “DI EPILESSIA SI PUÒ GUARIRE” translates to “Epilepsy can be cured,” emphasizing medical progress and compassion. Printed by I.P.Z.S. in Rome, this issue reflects Italy’s dedication to public health education through philately.
