Payment reminder for an overdue invoice (Italy)
For a business or professional wanting to remind a client of an overdue invoice before a formal demand: a polite letter in Italian with the invoice number, date and amount, the due date, a request to pay within a few days with the IBAN, and a reminder that between businesses late-payment interest runs anyway from the day after the due date (Legislative Decree 231/2002). If payment is already on its way, it asks the client to disregard it. Sent by e-mail or PEC; if it fails, a formal demand follows.
Revocation of a SEPA direct debit, formerly RID (Italy)
Many banks let you revoke a direct debit free of charge in online banking or at the branch. This document, in Italian under Italian law, is for doing it in writing, with proof: it holds two letters to send on the same day, one to the creditor revoking the SEPA mandate and one to your bank asking it to stop executing that creditor's debits (legislative decree no. 11/2010). Revocation does not cancel sums owed: the letter asks how to pay them another way.
Notice of sick leave to the employer (Italy)
An Italian letter, in Italian, from an employee telling the employer of an absence for illness: the start date, the end of the doctor’s prognosis, the protocol number (PUC) of the electronic certificate the doctor sent to INPS, and the address where the employee can be reached for the medical check. It is for cases where the collective agreement or the company asks for written notice and offers no portal of its own. Send it by PEC to the company’s certified address, by registered post with proof of receipt, or by hand. It holds health data, so it is sold blank and filled in by hand.
Notice of withdrawal from an online or off-premises purchase (Italy)
For a consumer in Italy who bought online, by phone, by mail order or from a doorstep seller and has changed their mind: you withdraw within 14 days without giving reasons (Article 52 of the Italian Consumer Code) and ask for everything you paid back within 14 days. The model form the seller must give you and, for contracts concluded from 19 June 2026, the «Recedere dal contratto qui» button on shopping websites are free and enough on their own. This Italian letter leaves written proof: send it by registered post with proof of receipt (raccomandata A/R) or by PEC to the seller’s certified e-mail address.
Report of lost documents to the police (Italy)
An Italian written report, in Italian, of lost documents – identity card, driving licence, passport, cards, payment cards – to hand in at a Carabinieri station or a police office, which gives a copy for applying for duplicates. It lists the documents, where and when the loss was noticed and the circumstances. Since 15 June 2026 a loss can also be reported free online, on the State Police’s Denunce online portal or in the IO app. It is not for a theft, which is reported in person.
Formal demand to perform and notice of default to a trader (Italy)
For a consumer in Italy who paid a trader – a shop, a tradesman, a service company – and did not get what was agreed, or was charged sums not owed: you formally call on the trader in writing to perform within at least 15 days, put it in default (Article 1219 of the Italian Civil Code) and interrupt limitation (Article 2943). You choose whether, once the deadline passes, the contract ends by law (Article 1454) or you will sue for performance. Energy, phone, bank and insurance disputes also have a free sector route. Send this Italian letter by registered post with proof of receipt or by PEC to the trader’s certified address.
Notice cancelling an insurance policy (Italy)
For anyone in Italy who wants to end an insurance policy – home, accident, liability, health – at expiry so that it does not renew tacitly, or to withdraw from a policy lasting more than five years once five years have passed (Article 1899 of the Italian Civil Code). The notice period is the one the policy sets and counts from receipt of the letter. Motor liability insurance, by contrast, needs no notice: it never renews tacitly. Many insurers also accept cancellation free of charge from the customer area or through the agent. Send this Italian letter by PEC to the insurer’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.
Out-of-court challenge to a dismissal (Italy)
For a worker dismissed in Italy who wants to keep the right to contest the dismissal. The law requires a written act within sixty days of receiving the dismissal (art. 6 of Italian Law 604/1966): this letter is that act, without going into the grounds. After sending it, there are one hundred and eighty days to file the claim in court or ask for conciliation or arbitration. Send it by registered post or PEC, as early as possible. In Italian.
Notice not to renew a lease at its final expiry (Italy)
For a landlord or tenant in Italy who does not want to renew a 4+4 lease at its second expiry, after eight years, or a 3+2 lease at the end of its two-year extension: the waiver of renewal under art. 2 of Italian Law no. 431 of 9 December 1998, which needs no reason, with the end date and a request to arrange the handover. It must be sent by registered letter at least six months before expiry; without it, the lease renews. Not for the first expiry of a 4+4, where the landlord must give a statutory ground. In Italian.
Resignation letter for a public-sector employee (Italy)
For an employee of an Italian ministry, region, municipality, health authority or other public body who is resigning. Public administrations are excluded from Italy's online resignation procedure: the employee writes to the administration, giving the notice set by the sector's collective agreement. School staff instead use the free application on the Istanze online portal. Sent by PEC, registered post or through the body's registry office. In the province of Bolzano the body must also accept German, in Valle d'Aosta French. In Italian.
Covering letter to an online resignation (Italy)
A private-sector employee in Italy resigns free of charge online, on the Ministry of Labour's form, alone with SPID or CIE or through a patronato or a union: that procedure ends the job, and no letter replaces it. This letter accompanies it: it tells the employer the date it was sent, the notice and the last working day, and asks for the final payments, the last payslip, the severance (TFR) calculation and the Certificazione Unica tax statement. It also fits a resignation during the trial period. In Italian.
Notice of ISTAT rent update (Italy)
For a landlord in Italy who lets without the cedolare secca and whose lease has an indexation clause: the letter to the tenant applying the change in the ISTAT consumer-price index for blue- and white-collar households (FOI) at the share the lease sets, with the current rent, the new rent and the month from which it applies. A landlord who chose the cedolare secca may not ask for any update while the option lasts. Sent by registered post with proof of receipt, by PEC if the tenant has one, or by hand. In Italian.
Letter revoking a power of attorney, to the agent (Italy)
For anyone who gave a general or special power of attorney and wants to withdraw it: this Italian letter tells the agent the power is revoked with immediate effect, asks for the original to be returned (article 1397 of the Italian Civil Code) and for an account of what was done. It goes by recorded delivery (raccomandata A/R), by PEC if the agent has a PEC address, or by hand against a signed copy. To make the revocation effective against the bank and other third parties, send them the notice to third parties as well.
Formal demand for unpaid rent (Italy)
For a landlord in Italy whose tenant is not paying the rent: the formal demand to the tenant listing the unpaid months and the total, recalling that a delay of more than twenty days is a ground for termination (art. 5 of Italian Law no. 392 of 27 July 1978), and requiring payment within fifteen days (arts. 1219 and 1454 of the Italian Civil Code), with the warning that otherwise the lease will be treated as terminated and an eviction for arrears will be brought before the court. By registered post with proof of receipt to the rented home, or by hand. In Italian.
Letter dismissing a domestic helper or carer (Italy)
For a family that, as a domestic employer in Italy, ends the job of its domestic helper, carer or nanny. In domestic work a dismissal needs no reason (art. 2118 of the Italian Civil Code; art. 4 of Italian Law 108/1990), but the notice of the collective agreement for domestic work must be given or paid in lieu. The letter states the dismissal, the notice, the last day and the final payments. It is not for a dismissal for just cause, nor during pregnancy or the leave that follows the birth. The end of the job is then reported to INPS, free of charge. Hand it over against a signed receipt, or send it by registered post. In Italian.
Notice ending a phone, internet or pay-TV contract (Italy)
For anyone in Italy who wants to end a landline, mobile, internet or pay-TV contract, even before it expires: the law lets you withdraw at any time, on no more than thirty days’ notice and without costs other than those justified by the operator’s own costs (Article 1(3) of Italian decree-law 7/2007, the «decreto Bersani»). Operators also offer free cancellation channels in the customer area or in their shops; to move to another operator and keep your number, just go to the new one. This Italian letter proves the date: send it by PEC to the operator’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.
Notice of parental or paternity leave to the employer (Italy)
For an employed parent in Italy giving the employer written notice of the days of parental leave or compulsory paternity leave, at least five days ahead. Parental leave can be taken until the child is fourteen, also by the hour; the allowance is claimed separately, free of charge, with the online application to INPS or through a patronato. Paternity leave is ten working days paid at 100%. Hand it over, send it by PEC or by e-mail. In Italian.
Saldo e stralcio settlement offer to a creditor (Italy)
For anyone in Italy with a debt to a private person, a business, a finance company or a debt-collection agency who wants to propose closing it by paying a smaller sum, at once or in instalments. The letter, in Italian under Italian law, states the debt claimed, the amount offered, how it will be paid and how long the offer stands, and says payment will follow only written acceptance. It is not for tax bills from the Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione. Send it by registered post or by PEC.
Notice of withdrawal from a supply or services contract between businesses (Italy)
For a business or professional wanting to leave a contract with a supplier in Italy (cleaning, software, equipment rental, maintenance): a letter in Italian exercising the withdrawal the contract provides (art. 1373 of the Italian Civil Code), citing the clause, the notice, the effective date and the requests to close the relationship: final invoice, collection of equipment, return of data, an end to direct debits. Sent by PEC to the supplier's address in INI-PEC or by registered post. If the contract allows no withdrawal, this letter is not enough.
Request to the landlord for a breakdown of service charges (Italy)
For a tenant in Italy asked by the landlord to pay building and service charges who wants to know what they cover: the letter asking, under art. 9 of Italian Law no. 392 of 27 July 1978, for the specific list of expenses with the allocation criteria and access to the supporting documents, undertaking to pay what proves to be due. Payment is due within two months of the request. By registered post with proof of receipt, PEC if the landlord has one, or by hand. In Italian.
