If you want to send your postcards with the Italian Post Office, you need to buy at the post office, “Poste Italiane” stamps and then post them in the Poste Italiane’s postboxes. Sending your Postcards with the Italian Post Office Each tobacconist has, generally inside the shop, a special tobacconists’ postbox in which you must post your postcards. This means that when you buy your stamps to a tobacconist, you must post your postcards in the tobacconist’s postbox and never in the Italian Post Office’s postboxes.

If you post your postcards stamped with tobacconists stamps in the “Poste Italiane” postboxes, not only the Official Italian Post Office service will not deliver your postcards but will also destroy them. These tobacconist’s special stamps are therefore not accepted by the “Poste Italiane”. These stamps are completely different from the Official Italian Post Office stamps, “Poste Italiane”.
