A "codice fiscale" is an Italian tax code, similar to a social security number or a national identification number in other countries. It is a unique identification code that is used for various administrative and financial purposes in Italy. The codice fiscale is issued by the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) and is required for a variety of transactions and services.
