Poste Italiane SpA: Recent Developments
1. Financial Education Initiatives in Piedmont
On 8 December 2025, Poste Italiane announced two free online webinars scheduled for 9 December, aimed at promoting financial protection and pension planning among residents of Piedmont. The sessions will feature subtitles and a sign‑language interpreter to accommodate deaf participants. This initiative is part of the company’s broader commitment to financial education for the public.
2. Potential Sale of PosteMobile to TIM
According to a report from Websim dated 8 December 2025, Poste Italiane is under consideration for a sale of its mobile operator, PosteMobile, to Telecom Italia (TIM). The transaction, if completed, would represent a significant restructuring of Poste Italiane’s mobile services segment.
3. Legal Proceedings Concerning “Buoni Fruttiferi”
Two civil cases filed by consumer advocacy group Confconsumatori at the Monza court have led to a ruling against Poste Italiane. The court ordered the company to compensate investors for incomplete or misleading information provided about the duration of “buoni fruttiferi” (investment certificates). The judgment mandates restitution of the principal amount and interest. The decision follows earlier reports on the same matter published on 7 December 2025.
4. Temporary Philatelic Service at the 115th National Cattle Fair
Poste Italiane has introduced a temporary philatelic service during the 115th edition of the National Cattle Fair in Carrù on 11 December 2025. The service will issue special stamps bearing the inscription “115ª edizione Fiera nazionale del bue grasso”, as requested by the municipal authorities. The initiative is part of the company’s local community engagement efforts.
5. Changes to Passport Payment Method
Effective 1 December 2025, the Italian Ministry of Interior has implemented a new payment method for passport issuance. The previous option of paying via a postal slip (bollettino postale) has been discontinued. Applicants must now use the PagoPA electronic payment system. Poste Italiane has announced this change on its website and in a press release on 7 December 2025.
6. Security Incident at Rocchetta Sant’Antonio Post Office
On 7 December 2025, residents of Rocchetta Sant’Antonio reported a violent incident involving an explosive device at the local post office’s ATM. The device detonated but, according to police, no cash was removed, as the ATM was empty at the time of the explosion. The incident has prompted a review of security protocols at rural post offices.
