Certified e-mail (PEC) / Posta elettronica certificata

What's this? / Cos’è?

Certified electronic mail (PEC) is a type of electronic mail.
The PEC has the same legal value as a registered letter with notification of receipt

What is it for? A cosa serve?

The PEC is used to send an e-mail message and to have proof that you have sent and delivered the message.

When you send a PEC message, the mail system sends you a receipt showing that you have sent the document and it has been received.

The transmission can be considered as Certified E-mail only if you send a message from your PEC to another PEC.
