Italian vocabulary for who loves to write a letter or a postcard in pen

I love to write. It is much more comfortable to write with a computer but writing with a penna = pen has definitely its own charm.
Now the Amici di penna=  pen pals exchange communication much faster with messages, e-mail or the various services from social networks.
For those who still writes Lettere =letters or simple cartoline= postcards don’t worry you are many: you can sit at the table, you take your carta da lettere = writing paper, a pen and write down everything that you suggest to your mind. At the end of the letter you will close it in an Busta = envelope and Affrancare = stamp with the francobollo = stamp. The stamps will be also useful for the postcard. Put indirizzo =address.  The cassetta della posta = mail box in Italy are big red …you ca not wrong.
