recapito

Recapito is an Italian noun used to denote the place or means by which something is delivered or communicated. In everyday language it is commonly paired with terms such as postale, telefonico, or indirizzo to specify where items should be sent or how someone can be reached. The word is widely used in administrative, logistical, and conversational contexts.

In postal and logistical contexts, recapito refers to the recipient’s address or the location where a shipment should be delivered. Expressions include indirizzo di recapito, recapito postale, and spedire al recapito. In communications, it can denote the contact information used to reach someone, for example recapito telefonico or recapito cellulare.

In administrative forms and records, recapito appears as a field for contact details, sometimes distinguished from residenza or domicilio. The plural recapiti can refer to multiple contact points or delivery addresses. The term is neutral and broadly understood in Italy and in Italian-language contexts.

Usage considerations: recapito emphasizes the place or means by which something is delivered or communicated, and may not always align with a person’s residence. In some contexts, it can imply a temporary or forwarding address, particularly in logistics and customer-service settings. While often used for postal or telecommunication purposes, recapito remains a general term for any mode of delivery or contact information.
