List Of Postal Codes In Italy
Italy's postal code system is called CAP (Codice di Avviamento Postale, literally: Postal Expedition Code). CAP are routing information for all the Italian cities and towns which have just a single CAP each; 28 city centres have a specific CAP. The Vatican City and San Marino also use the Italian postcode system.
Italian CAP postal codes have an optional prefix of "I-" (or "IT-", or none at all, depending on where the mail originates) followed by five digits. The region name is not used in the postal address, but the provincia is included as the 2-letter abbreviation of the province's capital. Thus a Mr Mario Rossi living in 10 Garibaldi street in the town of Buccinasco in the province of Milan will be addressed as follows:
- Mario Rossi
- Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 10
- 20090 Buccinasco (MI)
- ITALY
whereby the town of Buccinasco is in the provincia of Milan (MI); the region (Lombardy) is not included in the address.
The 2-letter abbreviation of the provincial capital is usually not included in addresses for large towns characterised by multi-CAP in their city centres. Thus a Mr Mario Rossi living in 10 Dante street in the city of Rome in the province of Rome will be addressed as follows:
- Mario Rossi
- Via Dante, 10
- 00194 Roma
- ITALY
whereby neither the provincia of Rome (RM) nor the region (Lazio) are included in the address.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations.

These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”

“This is the Night Mail crossing the Border,
Bringing the cheque and the postal order,
Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
The shop at the corner, the girl next door.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When intimacy followed love in Italy there were no longer any vain pretensions between two lovers.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
