The Italian word for 'banker's draft' is assegno circolare. Poste Italiane do issue these - though I'm not sure they do them on private client accounts (they certainly do them on business accounts). There is also another sort of draft called 'un assegno postale vidimato' which is again a 'guaranteed' cheque, and to get one of those you don't even need a Poste account. (I'm not clear on the use or acceptance of such an assegno.) It would probably be a useful move for you to enquire of the person you wish to pay with a 'banker's draft' exactly what would be acceptable to them. As to the cost - I've only ever bought assegni circolare from another bank (not Poste) - but if it cost anything it was in the region of €2 (for each assegno - they have a limit of something like €50,000 per cheque as I recall).
