ITALIA 2026 is an international philatelic literature exhibition held in Rome from 15 to 18 October 2026 under FEPA Specialised Patronage. The Federation of the Italian Philatelic Societies organises it, with Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi as president and general commissioner. All events take place at the Villa Eur Parco dei Pini hotel in the EUR district.
Entries are submitted online, the participation fee is only 50 euros, and the jury works online from June, with a short report of comments for each exhibitor. The jury is led by Giancarlo Morolli, who also chaired the juries of Italia 85, Genova 92, Italia 98, Italia 2009 and Italia 2018.
Beside the literature exhibition there is a cultural programme: FEPA seminars, a joint meeting of the Italian and French philatelic academies, book presentations, and the FEPA Congress on the last morning.
