The Italy and Colonies Study Circle is a society dedicated to the
study of the stamps and the postal history of the Italian area.
The membership is drawn from around the world, with the majority coming from the
UK, Italy and the USA. UK members meet four times a year in London, and there is
usually at least one overseas meeting each year, often linked to an
international stamp show.
The society publishes a highly acclaimed quarterly journal called Fil-Italia.
It is the only significant source of information on Italian philately in the
English language.
The society holds an auction for members at each London meeting, and there is
a thriving packet system and library.
