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.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, postal, codes and/or italy:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“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)
“Everything in Italy that is particularly elegant and grand ... borders upon insanity and absurdity—or at least is reminiscent of childhood.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
