Advance treatment directives – DAT, living will (Italy)
For any adult who wants to state which medical treatments they accept or refuse, including artificial nutrition and hydration, in case they can one day no longer decide, and to name a trusted representative (fiduciario) (article 4 of Italian Law no. 219 of 22 December 2017). Many Comuni offer their own free model. The wishes are written by hand; the DAT are handed in person to the civil-status office of the Comune of residence, which forwards them to the national database: filing is free and needs no revenue stamp.
Formal demand to the landlord for repairs (Italy)
For a tenant in Italy with faults the landlord must fix — leaks, boiler, systems, damp — that are not being repaired: the formal demand describing the defects, setting a deadline for repairs (arts. 1575 and 1576 of the Italian Civil Code), announcing urgent repairs done by the tenant with a claim for reimbursement (art. 1577), and reserving a court-ordered rent reduction or termination, while the rent keeps being paid. Sent by registered post with proof of receipt, PEC if the landlord has one, or by hand. In Italian.
Request for a certificate of employment and end-of-job documents (Italy)
For someone who has left or is leaving a job in Italy and asks the employer for the final documents: the certificate of employment under art. 2124 of the Italian Civil Code, giving the period and the duties, which the employer must issue whatever the reason the job ended; the last payslip and the severance (TFR) statement; the Certificazione Unica tax statement, due within twelve days of the request when the job ends during the year. Sent by registered post, PEC or by hand. In Italian.
Resignation letter for household staff (Italy)
For a domestic helper, carer or nanny leaving a job with a family in Italy. Domestic work is excluded from Italy's online resignation procedure: here resignation is given in writing, and this letter gives it, with the notice set by the collective agreement for domestic work and the last working day, and asks for unused holiday, the accrued thirteenth-month pay, severance pay (TFR), the last payslip and the end-of-job report to INPS. Hand it over and have the copy signed, or send it by registered post with proof of receipt. In Italian.
Final liquidation accounts and distribution plan of an S.r.l. (Italy)
For the liquidator of an Italian S.r.l. whose liquidation is complete: a document in Italian summarising the assets realised, debts paid, costs and remainder, stating what each member receives (the distribution plan, art. 2492 of the Italian Civil Code) and setting out the liquidator's statements. The final accounting statements and, where appointed, the auditors' report are attached. It is filed with the Companies Register: for ninety days each member may object, then the accounts are deemed approved (art. 2493) and the company's removal from the register is requested.
Demand to the employer to pay missing pension contributions (Italy)
An Italian letter, in Italian, from a current or former employee to an employer who does not appear to have paid INPS contributions for some periods: it gives the periods missing from the contributions statement, asks for the position to be put right within a deadline with proof of payment, and announces a report to INPS and the labour inspectorate. The statement can be checked free online on the INPS website or at a patronato (free help office). Send it by PEC to the company’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.
Cancelling a gym membership or another subscription (Italy)
For anyone in Italy who wants to end a subscription – gym, swimming pool, magazine, online service – or stop it renewing: the letter gives notice at expiry, withdraws on the contract’s terms or, if a documented illness or injury prevents you from using the service, asks for termination because performance has become impossible (Articles 1463 and 1464 of the Italian Civil Code). Italy has no specific law on gyms: the contract and the Italian Consumer Code’s rules on unfair terms decide. Many providers state in the contract how to cancel. Send this Italian letter by PEC to the company’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.
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.
Request for general civic access (Italian FOIA) (Italy)
An Italian request, in Italian, that anyone can make without giving reasons, for data and documents held by a public body (art. 5(2) of legislative decree 33/2013, Italy’s freedom of information act), within the limits of art. 5-bis. The body answers within 30 days; a refusal can be reviewed by its transparency officer. Release is free apart from the cost of copies on paper or media: no revenue stamp. Many bodies have a free form in their ‘Amministrazione trasparente’ section. Send it by PEC or e-mail.
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.
Two-year limitation defence on an electricity, gas or water bill (Italy)
For a household, micro-business or professional customer in Italy who receives an electricity, gas or water bill for consumption more than two years old, often a balancing bill. Many suppliers have a free form for raising limitation; this letter, in Italian under Italian law, does the same in writing: it identifies the bill and the amount, raises the two-year limitation (law no. 205/2017), asks for a corrected bill and announces payment of the part not time-barred. Send it by registered post or by PEC.
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.
Mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) (Italy)
For two businesses or professionals in Italy exchanging confidential information before working together, selling or investing: an Italian mutual NDA setting out the purpose of the exchange, what is and is not confidential, permitted use, the staff and advisers allowed to see it, return of the information, how long it lasts after the talks and a penalty with its specific approval (arts. 1341–1342 of the Italian Civil Code). It refers to the protection of trade secrets (arts. 98–99 of the Italian Industrial Property Code). Signed in two copies or digitally.
Package-holiday complaint and claim for a ruined holiday (Italy)
For a traveller who bought a package holiday from an Italian organiser – flight and hotel, cruise, organised tour – and found services other than those promised: you ask the organiser for a price reduction, reimbursement of expenses and damages, including damages for a ruined holiday (Articles 42, 43 and 46 of the Italian Tourism Code). Defects must be reported promptly during the trip, to the organiser or the travel agency; damages are claimed within three years of returning. Italian chambers of commerce publish free guides on package travel. Send this Italian letter by PEC to the organiser’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.
Founding deed and statute of an amateur sports association (ASD) (Italy)
For anyone founding a non-profit amateur sports club (ASD) in Italy: the founding deed in Italian, with founders, first board and president, and a standard statute with the clauses required by art. 7 of the Italian Legislative Decree 36/2021 (name, sporting object, no profit, democratic rules and equal opportunities, accounts, sporting destination of assets) and the bar on office in another club of the same federation (art. 11). No notary is needed; it is registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate and, after affiliation, entered in the national register of amateur sports activities.
Settlement agreement between private parties (Italy)
For ending a dispute in Italy between private persons or with a business – a contested debt, damage, poor work – by mutual concessions, including a settlement for less than the full debt (saldo e stralcio). The contract, in Italian under Italian law, describes the dispute, what each party concedes, any sum and how it is paid, and the waiver of every other claim on that dispute (articles 1965 ff. of the Italian Civil Code). It is not for employment disputes. Both parties sign two copies.
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.
Founding deed and statute of an unrecognised cultural association (Italy)
For anyone founding a non-profit cultural association in Italy: the founding deed in Italian, with the founding members, first board and president, and a standard thirteen-article statute (aims, members, general meeting, board, assets and accounts, dissolution) under arts. 36–38 of the Italian Civil Code. No notary is needed: all founders sign the deed and statute, which are registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate, which issues the tax code. It is not a statute for a third-sector body (APS, ODV) to be entered in the RUNTS register.
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.
Sworn statement of personal knowledge in lieu of a notarial act (Italy)
An Italian declaration, in Italian (art. 47 of Presidential Decree 445/2000), attesting facts, status and qualities you know directly that are not on the self-certification list, including about other people: for example the loss of a document, to ask for a duplicate, or a factual situation a call for applications or a body asks for. With the warning on penalties and the note on signing. Many public bodies publish free models. No stamp duty is due (art. 37).
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.
Complaint to the public relations office of an Italian public body (Italy)
An Italian written complaint, in Italian, to the public relations office (URP) of a municipality, a region, INPS, the Revenue Agency or another public body, about a poor service, a delay, improper conduct or a stalled case: it sets out the facts and asks for checks and a written answer within the time in the service charter. Many bodies have a free complaint form or online service. Send it by PEC, e-mail or registered post with proof of receipt. A complaint does not stop the time limits for challenging a decision.
Request to pay IMU, TARI and other municipal taxes in instalments (Italy)
For anyone who received from the Comune an executive assessment or another demand for IMU, TARI or another local tax and cannot pay it all at once. Many Comuni have their own free form: if there is one, use it. Instalments follow the Comune’s regulation or, failing that, Italian Law no. 160 of 27 December 2019: up to 72 monthly instalments depending on the amount, and a regulation must allow at least 36 for debts above € 6,000.01. The request declares a temporary financial difficulty and is exempt from stamp duty.
