Postal Public Service

This week I had to go to the post office to mail some letters. You can often buy stamps at a tabacchi, but they never seem to know how much stamps are to foreign destinations, and they never seem to have the right denominations... So I decided to actually go to the Poste Italiane near Centrale to get things mailed properly. (Though, let me say that one time I was improperly informed and didn't put enough postage on a letter and it still made it.)

I managed to conduct my business entirely in Italian, and successfully asked how much it cost to send letters to different places! As of now (September 15, 2012):

  • Within Italy: 0.60 Eu
  • Within the EU: 0.75 Eu
  • To the US: 1.60 Eu


So, send letters!
