mailboxes of the world: Venice, Italy

The mailboxes in Italy are all about the same, red Poste Italiane boxes, like this one seen in Venice. Many of the mailboxes have graffiti on them, but otherwise, they are nearly identical.

I have mailed quite a few postcards from Italy. But, you guys!! International postcards sent from Italy cost $2 Euro each in postage! Wow. I did not realize it cost almost three times the cost of international postcards from the US. Oh well, snail mail must go on! I bought a LOT of Italian stamps at the Venice post office, like the ones seen below.

I have been taking a photo of every mailbox I see, but many of them in Italy are very similar…I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any unique ones I come across!

Happy snail mailing!!
