Looking to get your mail to Italy? We’ve got you covered
The Italian economy has suffered some setbacks in recent months with some political unrest, but this was somewhat stabilised towards the end of 2016. Despite a weaker economy than other countries within Europe, Italy still has a population of around 60 million, making it a large hub worth tapping into.
English is listed as the main foreign language in Italy, with around 34% of the country being able to speak it. Alongside this, Italy is centrally placed in both Europe and the wider world, leaving it perfectly positioned as a trading route.
Below we have listed out common facts associated with mail and international mail inside Italy.
