Poste Italiane service developments in Italy

Overview

Poste Italiane is implementing divergent strategies regarding its physical presence in Italy. In Agnone, the company has begun renovations on the Via Verdi post office as part of the “Polis” project. This initiative seeks to modernize facilities in municipalities with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants, turning them into multifunctional hubs for postal, financial, and public administration services.

Conversely, the company is facing opposition in the L'Aquila province. The CGIL trade union has criticized a significant reduction in services, noting that the number of operational branches has dropped from 212 to 159 over the last 40 years. The union further denounced a corporate reorganization plan involving the cutting of 20 basic delivery lines and 9 business lines, warning that such measures contribute to the “desertification of postal services” and disproportionately affect elderly and remote populations.
