Founded in 2005, after a successful polar event in Turin-Italy, by a group of dedicated polar philatelists: V. Negro, G. Poletto, known as Gippo, G. Martina, S. Di Vita, and L. Sacchi, just to name a few, under the invaluable guidance of F. Giardini, the Turin Polar Association celebrates its 20th Anniversary.
For the occasion, a series of themed postcards with special postmarks has been created. Among these, two in particular commemorate the 50th anniversary of Renato Cepparo’s adventurous expedition to Antarctica (1975) and the construction of the “Giacomo Bove” Base, (WAP ITA-Ø2) later dismantled by Argentina.
