# e-Invoicing Italy 🇮🇹

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 -->

**Who this is for:** The finance or accounting contact at your organisation responsible for invoicing in Italy. **What it covers:** How Lavanda issues fiscally compliant documents in Italy, the two routes available, and where to find the detailed setup for each.

In Italy, fiscal documents must reach the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate, AdE) electronically. Lavanda supports two routes, both delivered in partnership with Invopop, an accredited provider. Lavanda configures the Invopop side for you: you only complete the steps listed on the two child pages.
