Caravaggio lithograph by Milo Manara with NFT digital twin

Caravaggio lithograph by Milo Manara with NFT digital twin

Poste Italiane presented *Litografie d’autore — Milo Manara: Caravaggio* on 30 May 2026 at the 30th Torino Comics (Certosa Reale di Collegno), the first release of a new philatelic series in which lithographs by comic artists come with an NFT digital twin. The folder contains Manara’s Caravaggio lithograph franked with the 2010 Caravaggio stamp, a personalised envelope with a cancelled ‘cvp’, an envelope with the NFT redemption code, a certificate of authenticity and a single stamp. Priced from € 100, the digital twin is minted on Polygon (ERC-721) after redemption on nft.poste.it and is limited to 1,000 NFTs according to crypto-stamps.org. Unlike the Cripto Folder series, this is a standalone art edition, not a Posta Prioritaria retrospective.

Poste Italiane opened a new philatelic series at the 30th Torino Comics: Litografie d’autore, lithographs by comic artists paired with an NFT digital twin. The first release is Milo Manara’s tribute to Caravaggio, shown alongside the exhibition Manara e l’arte del racconto and unveiled after the artist’s talk at the Lavanderia a Vapore theatre. The folder holds the lithograph franked with the 2010 Caravaggio stamp, a personalised envelope with a cancelled ‘cvp’, a certificate of authenticity, a single stamp and the envelope with the single-use QR code that redeems the NFT on nft.poste.it.

The digital twin follows the Poste Italiane pattern established with the Cripto Folder box sets — Polygon blockchain, in-house redemption platform, deadline printed inside the product — but is a standalone art edition rather than a Posta Prioritaria retrospective. The polygonscan token tracker reads NFT litografia MILO MANARA (FIL04).

Curator note: the 1,000 mintage comes from crypto-stamps.org only; Poste Italiane does not publish the tiratura. The redemption deadline is not available online. Contract address matches crypto-stamps.org and polygonscan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Manara Caravaggio NFT part of the Cripto Folder series?

No. Poste Italiane launched it as the first item of a new series, Litografie d’autore, dedicated to lithographs by comic artists. It shares the Polygon blockchain and the nft.poste.it redemption platform with the Cripto Folder editions.

How is the digital twin redeemed?

The folder includes an envelope with a single-use QR code. Scanning it on nft.poste.it and linking a blockchain account mints the ERC-721 token; the redemption deadline is printed inside the collection and has not been published online.
