| Reverse description | A detail from Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated design 'Europa and the Bull' occupies the central field, depicting Europa astride the bull in classical relief style. The date 2003 and the Rome Mint mark R appear to the right of the central motif, while the denomination EURO 10 is inscribed to the left. The composition balances the figural scene with the essential inscriptions in a refined numismatic arrangement. |

| Additional information |
This issue belongs to Italy's long-running "People in Europe" series, which brought together eurozone member states to produce coordinated commemorative programs in the early years of the single currency. The 2003 Italian contribution was struck by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato — the same state body that has handled Italy's security printing and coinage since its consolidation under Mussolini in 1928.
