The Journey of Your Italian Postcard

At A Postcard From Italy, we take great pride in offering an authentic experience of receiving a heartfelt delivery straight from the Italian homeland. But how does that process unfold – the journey of your postcard from your order to the personalized postcard arriving at your doorstep? Let’s go behind the scenes:

It all starts with our scouring local shops, markets, and off-the-beaten-path destinations across Italy’s remarkable regions in search of the most beautiful and meaningful postcard designs. We hand-select each card, ensuring a diverse array of imagery that captures Italy’s iconic scenery, architecture, people, traditions, and more.

Whether you have your heart set on dramatic Dolomite mountain scenery, serene Lake Garda villages, iconic Venetian canals, the romance of Verona, or timeless glimpses of rural Italian village life – we’ve traveled extensively through the regions surrounding our Northern Italy base as well as farther afield to uncover the perfect postcard imagery that speaks to your tastes and connections with Italy. While our collection leans toward cartoline from areas like the Dolomites, Lake Garda, Venice, and Verona where we’re based, we also carefully curate designs from across the remarkable nation to provide an authentically diverse array.

Once you’ve placed your order for that special delivery, the real personalization begins. If you’ve opted to include your own custom message, we will carefully hand-write it just as you’ve provided, recreating those heartfelt sentiments straight onto the postcard.

Or if you prefer an element of surprise, we’ll craft warm messages that evoke the spirit and emotions you’d like to convey – be it wistful nostalgia, sheer wanderlust for the homeland’s splendor, cultural festivities, or whatever most speaks to you. You can even choose to have your missive transcribed in warm Italian language or English.

With your postcard inscribed just as you’d envisioned, we’ll then make our way to an authentic Italian mail outlet. There, we’ll carefully select the ideal commemorative stamp design – another small yet meaningful emblem of Italian culture and history – to grace your delivery.

Then it’s off to the postman, where your personalized Italian postcard will be hand-canceled with a unique postal mark before departing on its international voyage to you or your designated recipient.

After traversing that romantic journey by land, air and sea just as postcards have for centuries, your vibrant memento will arrive dressed in those distinctly Italian scents and energies, ready towhisk you or your loved one away to the Old Country, if only for a few breathtaking moments.

From our heartfelt expedition to curate the perfect Italy-evocative designs to the intimate penning of your customized message and stamp in the homeland itself, we ensure every Postcard From Italy is suffused with the same wanderlust and appreciation for the rich experiences to be found across the remarkablenation.
