What Casartigiani does

Casartigiani Salerno is the provincial Salerno federation of the national CASARTIGIANI confederation, representing artisanal businesses, small and medium enterprises (PMI), and commerce operators within the Salerno province of Campania, Italy. The organization was officially constituted by notarial deed in 1976, continuing a C.A.S.A. (Confederazione Autonoma Sindacati Artigiani) presence in the territory that dates to 1947, and it sits within a national confederation founded in 1958 that comprises 14 regional federations, around 100 provincial/regional federations, approximately 1,000 local offices, and roughly 100,000 members nationally.

The federation delivers a portfolio of business-support services rather than a unified technology product. Core offerings include Artigiancassa Point (financial and banking services through a partnership with BNL BNP Paribas), a Camera di Commercio service desk (business registration, certificates, SUAP/SCIA filings), Patronato EASA (INPS and INAIL social security administration), CAF tax filing services (Model 730, Unico, IMU, ISEE), Ufficio Entrate tax procedures, Eurodesk EU funding advisory, internationalization support, and COVID-19/O.P.R.A. emergency grant distribution. Two wholly-owned subsidiaries extend the portfolio: C.E.D. F.P.A. di Salerno C.A.S.A. S.r.l. handles data processing and administrative services, while Globus 2020 S.r.l. — established in 2020 as a spinout — operates as a Digital Innovation Hub (DIH), a Certified Independent Private Incubator (CIPI), and an investment vehicle (Globus Venture S.I.S. S.p.A.). Distribution is anchored at two physical locations in Salerno and Sala Consilina, supplemented by partner referrals through Camera di Commercio, Confidi PMI Campania, and social-security/tax service partners.

Casartigiani Salerno operates as a private membership-based trade association funded through recurring membership dues and service fees. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, acquiring members through direct engagement, local presence, and bundled service delivery. The federation is governed by President Matteo Picardi, Provincial Secretary Mario Andresano, and Provincial Director Luca Andresano, with a five-member Provincial Directive Council. It is part of the Rete Imprese Italia national network alongside Confcommercio, Confartigianato, Cna, and Confesercenti, and holds formal representation in EBAC and other Campania bilateral bodies.

Direct peers

• Confapi: Italian confederation of small and medium-sized enterprises providing representation, training and services to SMEs — a comparable SME trade-association model with similar member-value proposition.
• Confcommercio: Italian commerce and tertiary-sector employers' confederation; co-member of Rete Imprese Italia with comparable member-services portfolio (CAF, Patronato, training, credit) targeting overlapping SME segments.
• Coldiretti: Italy's primary agricultural employers' federation, structurally analogous as a sectoral trade association delivering bundled services (CAF, Patronato, credit, training) to a member base of Italian SMEs.
• Confartigianato: Italy's largest artisans confederation, directly comparable as a co-member of Rete Imprese Italia representing Italian artisan businesses with the same member-service, advocacy and credit-facilitation model.
• CNA (Confederazione Nazionale dell'Artigianato e della Piccola e Media Impresa): National confederation of artisans and SMEs; direct peer serving the same target market through analogous membership services, training, and policy advocacy under the Rete Imprese Italia umbrella.
• Confagricoltura: General Confederation of Italian Agriculture, a sectoral trade association using the same federated-representation and member-services model to serve agricultural SMEs across Italy.
• Confesercenti: Confederation of Italian retail, service and SME businesses; co-member of Rete Imprese Italia offering nearly identical bundled services (credit, tax, social-security, training) to similar members.

Others

• Rete Imprese Italia: Umbrella network formed by Casartigiani together with Confcommercio, Confartigianato, CNA and Confesercenti to coordinate SME advocacy; ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor but defines Casartigiani's collective positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Confindustria: Main Italian employers' federation representing industrial and larger corporate members; comparable as a national representation and member-services body, but addresses larger enterprises rather than micro/artisan SMEs.
• Camera di Commercio di Salerno: Public chamber of commerce in Casartigiani's home province that delivers business-registry and certification services Casartigiani resells via its Sportello — a public-sector broad incumbent in the same SME-services stack.
