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.

“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“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)
“Uncle Matthew’s four years in France and Italy between 1914 and 1918 had given him no great opinion of foreigners. “Frogs,” he would say, “are slightly better than Huns or Wops, but abroad is unutterably bloody and foreigners are fiends.””
—Nancy Mitford (1904–1973)
