San Marino Venezia stamps year 1994″Basilica di San Marco” MNH
The 1994 San Marino stamp featuring the Basilica di San Marco in Venice was part of a special Joint Issue with Italy to commemorate the 900th Anniversary of the Dedication of the Basilica (1094–1994).
This issue is particularly notable because it was released in two formats: a single stamp and a commemorative souvenir sheet (foglietto).

The San Marino stamp, and the corresponding Italian stamp, share a similar design that celebrates the iconic Venetian landmark.
| Format | Catalogue Number (Unificato/Scott) | Design Notes |
| Souvenir Sheet (Foglietto) | Unificato BF/50 / Scott 1314a | A sheet containing two stamps, one San Marino stamp and one Italian stamp, often in a tête-bêche (head-to-tail) arrangement, separated by a decorative label. |
| Single Stamp (from sheet) | Unificato 1429 | The individual San Marino stamp of the sheet, also issued in regular sheets of 20. |
The most common item for collectors is the Souvenir Sheet (Foglietto), which brings both countries’ stamps together.
The overall appeal of this issue lies in the historical subject matter and its status as a beautiful example of a joint-issue between two European countries.
