Myfines.it

It's the website managed by Safety21, a software company to which some municipalities (including Florence) have outsourced the management of traffic violation detection, notification, and also payment.
Assuming you received an official notification that you committed the infraction and you agree that you in fact committed that infraction (and they should give you access to the photographic evidence online), I presume it's safe to use. Supposedly that company gives you the possibility of paying by credit card also. I would go that route, as credit cards give you a chance to dispute an irregular charge. I wouldn't send a personal check from the US to Italy.

The problem with sending a personal check is that your checking account is in USD, but the fine is payable in EUR. A credit card payment will take care of the currency translation.

This infraction is for my daughter’s boyfriend who went to Italy back in August. In the letter he got there was no phone number to call and there was no website to log into to be able to pay. I found out about the myfines website through the Internet. It would be easier to pay online but now I’m starting to doubt whether this is a true violation or not. The letter says that you have to submit your payment through the mail. He is not trying to skip paying the infraction if it’s a valid one and not a scam.

Can you post the exact wording in Italian and the name of the entity that sent the letter?

Roberto , I tried to post pictures but couldn’t.

I sent you a personal message to your inbox.

The pictures you sent me are not exactly complete, as I can’t tell what infraction you committed (ZTL? Red light violation?) and whether they furnished a way to access the photographic evidence online. In any case the City Police of the City of Sorrento sent the notification (through the Andeani Group, a company to which they outsource the recording and fine collections) which maybe it was recorded on 24 September 2025. If you were in Sorrento on a rental car around that date, it is probably legitimate.
The documents show only the possibility of paying to an IBAN (International Bank Account Number) for the Poste Italiane (Italian Postal Service). The Italian Postal Service offers also banking services, so apparently the City of Sorrento or the Andreani Group offers the option to deposit money to their bank account with the Italian Postal service. I would send a bank wire transfer to that IBAN through your bank, if your bank fees aren’t too high. My bank (Chase) charges me $5 for international wire transfers under $5000, per $0 for international transfers of $5,000 and above. I send money to my Italian bank account all the time (and always more than $5,000 to save the Chase fee) and all you need should be the IBAN and the SWIFT/BIC code. The picture you sent me shows the IBAN code (a 34 alphanumeric code) but cuts off the SWIFT code but I think it’s right after the IBAN code. In your wire transfer also indicate the recipient name (Città di Sorrento) the bank name (Poste Italiane S.p.A), the branch (Filiale di Sorrento), the Codice di Avviamento Bancario (CAB 5 digit number, provided in your notification), the ABI number (also provided). You fine seems to be 111€, check what your bank charges for that amount of international bank transfer, if too expensive with your bank, you can send that transfer through Wise. Wise may have better commission fees. I didn’t see any reference to Myfines.it, so I wouldn’t use it since maybe the City of Sorrento does not utilize that company.

Roberto,
Thanks for all your help
I will relay this information

You were right, the swift code was after the iban
