The total itinerary is of approximately 11 thousand kilometers.<br \/>\nThe first Italian who had the honor of carrying the Olympic Torch on Italian ground was Stefano Baldini, the winner of the marathon contest of the Olympic Games Athens\u00a0 2004.<br \/>\nAmong the carriers of this torch also counts the multiple Olympic champion, Elisabeta Lip\u00e3. The famous Romanian sportswoman ran on the Rome streets, with the Olympic Torch in her hand, on the 9th of December, 2005.<br \/>\nThe carrying of the Olympic Torch symbolizes, together with the dynamism of the sports contest, the spreading of peace and friendship among the various peoples and nations of the world.<br \/>\nThe slogan of the sports contest, \u201cCitius, Altius, Fortius\u201d (Faster, Higher, Stronger), expresses the essence and the spirit of the Olympic Games.<br \/>\nRomania participates in the Olympic Games of Torino with the most numerous sports team in the history of its presence in the winter editions.<br \/>\nIn the evening of the 10th of February, on the Olympic stadium of Torino, the flame of the 20th edition of the White Olympiad will be set alight using the torch coming from Greece, which will burn until the 26th of February, i.e. the final day of the Winter Olympic Games of Torino of year 2006.<br \/>\nHarmoniously combining the graphic art and the beauty of the white sports, the postage stamps of this issue are trying to be an artistic transcript of the essence and spirit of the Olympic Games, but, at the same time, a reference (metaphorical, of course) to the organizing country of the White Olympiad &#8211; Italy.<br \/>\nThe four postage stamps that have the same face value, made in a single block, present winter sports contests where Romanian sportsmen will also compete: bobsleigh, artistic skating, biathlon and downhill skiing.<br \/>\nThe background image presents Romania\u00b4s \u201cgolden sportswoman\u201d, Elisabeta Lip\u00e3, carrying the Olympic Torch.<\/p>\n<p>Issue date: 2006-02-01<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the Winter Olympic Games of Torino, Romfilatelia introduces into the postal network the postage stamps issue [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2044097,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_cat":[2538],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2044096","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-2006-annual-collections","7":"desktop-align-left","8":"tablet-align-left","9":"mobile-align-left","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"product-type-grouped"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2044096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2044097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2044096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2044096"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2044096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
