The Certified email (Posta Elettronica Certificata – PEC) is a transmission mechanism which allows to certify the sending, integrity and actual delivery of an email message. Practically, it permits to provide the email message with the same legal value of a traditional registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, fully counting as a certified notification. 

WARNING: we would like to explicitly ask you to send your message to ONLY ONE of the Rizzoli PEC addresses, whichever you choose.

PEC address for users and citizens

Warning! This PEC email address only receives message from other certified addresses. That is, it does not receive messages sent with non-certified email systems. Citizens who are not provided with certified email addresses are kindly asked to send their communications to the Institute’s non-certified email addresses, or to directly access the “Contact us” page from the website homepage.
