Description: This monochromatic orange postage stamp displays a left-facing profile of Italia Turrita, the historic personification of the Italian nation adorned with a distinct turreted wall crown modeled after an ancient coin from Syracuse. The central medallion is positioned on a slightly mottled orange rectangular backdrop block inside perforated edges. The top-left corner is marked with the word "LIRE", while the top-right corner displays the face value numeral "10". Stretching across the base in stylized text is the inscription "POSTE REPVBBLICA ITALIANA", positioned directly over a micro-printed engraver's attribution line.
Circa: This specific 10-lire orange definitive stamp was originally introduced to the public in June 1953 as part of the iconic "Siracusana" series, serving as a vital domestic postal utility through the end of the decade.
