Send this Italian letter by PEC to the bank’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.

Request to an Italian regional ombudsman (Italy)
An Italian letter, in Italian, to the regional ombudsman (difensore civico), or the provincial territorial one where it exists, asking for free intervention with a regional or local administration that does not answer, delays or acts improperly: it sums up the facts, the steps already taken (complaint to the URP, reminders) and the request.
