2020 Italy Lighthouse Stamp, 11 Sept 2020

On 11 September 2020, Posteitaliane issued a stamp that shows Isola del Tino Lighthouse. This light is also known as Faro San Venerio, named after the patron saint of the Gulfo della Spezia. There are actually two lights at this location, the current one that was built in 1884 and the original one alongside that dates from 1840. The lights are located on a small island at the approach to the port of La Spezia in northwestern Italy.

Thanks to Jaap for his excellent research.

Estonia Lighthouse ATM Labels, 1 Sep 2020

On 1 September 2020 Estonia released a set of sixteen ATM or Frama labels with a tourism theme. There are four scenes with each one available in four different denominations. The denominations are 0.90 €, 1.75 €, 1.90 € and 4.85 €. One of the scenes features Tahkuna Lighthouse which is located at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland in western Estonia. Only the 0.90 € denomination label is shown here. Hopefully, we will get good images of the other three labels soon.
