The extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of Peru to the Italian Republic is the official representative of the Republic of Peru to the Italian Republic.

It is customary for the ambassador to represent Peru before the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) due to the headquarters of this body in Rome; as well as organizations such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and before the World Food Program (WFP). The Peruvian ambassador in Rome also acts as concurrent ambassador for San Marino and Cyprus,{{efn|The first ambassador to Cyprus was Guillermo Fernández-Cornejo, accredited from Tel Aviv, who presented his credentials on September 2, 1988.{{Cite book |title=Cronología de las relaciones internacionales del Perú |publisher=Centro Peruano de Estudios Internacionales |year=1988 |pages=22, 35–36 |language=es |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kmy7AAAAIAAJ |volume=2 |quote=12 de Junio: Se resolvió que el Embajador del Perú en Israel, Guillermo Fernández Cornejo, desempeñe simultáneamente el cargo de Embajador no residente ante el Gobierno de Chipre, desde su sede en Tel Aviv.
