Description
This stamp highlights the monumental architecture of Venice as a symbol of the threatened universal artistic heritage, by associating an emblematic building with a composition evoking rising waters. The illustration highlights the vulnerability of architectural treasures to natural forces, while recalling their irreplaceable historical and cultural value. The contrast between the solidity of the building and the instability of the aquatic environment reinforces the message of urgency and collective responsibility. In the Tunisian context, this stamp reflects cultural solidarity with the great historic cities of the world and affirms Tunisia's place in international heritage protection initiatives, aware of the importance of preserving the memory of civilizations for future generations.
