FDC from Italy

Today I am presenting a cover sent to me by Nadia from Italy. The first Day Cover of a stamp released in 2008 relating to the devastating earthquake which hit the city and Strait of Messina in Italy on Dec 28, 1908.The stamp features an aerial view of the city and Strait of Messina, in stylised graphics, along with the city of Reggio Calabria in the background. There are some concentric rings on the stamp, which represent the seismic waves caused by the earthquake.
