Speeding ticket from our Italian friends!

In the post this morning. At first I thought it was a scam because the alleged offence occurred in July 2019!

Anyway, after some research, it would appear the Italian authorities have 360 days to issue fixed penalty notices unlike the UK where it is two weeks.

It came to my wife as she is the registered owner of the MX5 we were in on our road trip last Summer although I was the driver.

Details: 87km/h in a 70km/h limit. Fine is 152 Euros

So, my questions: anyone on here ever received similar? Should I pay up or ignore it?

Any thoughts or advice welcomed!
