This site is intended for you, a person who wishes to know more about Romania. It was created and is permanently updated by Victor Manta, a Swiss stamp collector. You can benefit from his experience, because he lived many years in Romania and has a large knowledge of country's culture, language, history, literature, and also of its stamps, which he collects since childhood. A long years fan of Romanian topical stamps, he is especially interested in the relationship between the images on Romanian stamps, the tormented history of Romanian people and by the art and culture in Romania.

The present site was started in 2001, when Romanian philately was virtually not present on the web. The first objective of the author was to present a large sample of Romanian postage stamps to attract as many readers as possible to their collection and presentation. This objective was largely achieved, especially after the EFIRO 2008 World Exposition, where the author presented in an exhibit all the world sites dedicated to Romanian postage stamps. Afterwards, he focused on the coverage of some special areas, sometimes very technical (like Brussels overprints), or others little covered by the philatelic press (the imperforate sheets, the Odessa massacre, cheats, forgotten champions, etc.). Many of the newer articles have been published by the author in the Romanian and international printed press.

Victor Manta, a pioneer of the philatelic web, is a former member of the Association of Romanian Philatelists, of the Union of Swiss Philatelic Associations and of AIJP. In 1997 the author founded PASIC (Paintings and Arts on Stamps Internet Club), counting at time over 700 members from 70 countries, and affiliated since 1999 with the American Topical Association.This club is quite popular worldwide, and especially in Romanian philatelic circles, which is reflected by the fact that the second largest participation in PASIC comes from Romania.
