I've had two similar from the Italian police over a few years. One speeding and one bus lane infringement. 2 trips and they take a long time to get to you, and to sort.
Only yesterday did I find the correspondence and throw it in the recycling. Thinking 2.5 years was long enough after I paid it and I had their acknowledgement, to feel safe.
I tried for months to duck out of the first one, they charged it to my credit card anyway in the end, about a year after the first letter. I was in a hire car so I couldn't escape it. I tried!
I kept sending it back saying I couldn't read Italian. Seemed just to delay things a few months and then the fine was around £160/70 Euros or so. The second bus lane infringement in Bologna - I paid straight away as I knew I'd done it Guv! Another hire car.....
