Do I need a Schengen Visa or with an invitation letter is enough?

My wife asks me if with an invitation letter from Spain his father (peruvian) can travel with us to Italy since we wanted to visit plus his father dreamed to see Italy.

Here in Spain I know I can make an invitation letter so he can stay here, but I don't know if he can travel to another country from Europe, Italy in this case. Should I make him a Schengen visa or isn't needed?
