Sorry, it\'s not dear if it\'s before the name and address! Ususally this isn\'t actually translated.
alla spettabile Direzione = The Manager
Spett.le ditta Bianchi = Messrs. Bianchi and Co. (but best avoided I think).
I\'d say to leave it out altogether.

In English they do not put something before the name and address. But you can then put "Dear" at the beginning of the text.

........
it is a formal way of addressing a company (not an individual) on a letter or envelope, there is no real equivalent, in English we would normally just write the company's name and address at the top of the letter
