Certified email (PEC)

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.
