Addressing tips for Italy
- Postcodes have five digits and are written to the left of the town name.[1]
- The locality line holds the postcode, the town and the two-letter province abbreviation: 00122 ROMA RM.[1]
- An address has three to six lines: recipient, optional extra information about the recipient, optional building details (stairway, floor, apartment or suite), the street name and number, the locality line, and the country for mail from abroad.[1]
- Write the street number after the street name, never before: VIALE EUROPA 22.[1]
- The street, locality and country lines must be in capitals, and capitals on every line are preferable. Avoid punctuation, especially on those lines.[1]
- A PO box (Casella Postale) goes on the street line, as in CASELLA POSTALE 14123 above 00149 ROMA RM.[1]
