What Comune di Prato does

Comune di Prato is the municipal government of the City of Prato, capital of the Province of Prato in the Tuscany region of Italy. It serves approximately 190,000 residents and the local business community as the legally mandated provider of administrative services including civil registration (anagrafe), identity documents, business and construction permits (SUEAP), social welfare, school transport and canteens, cultural programs, civil protection, and tourist tax administration. The municipality operates a unified digital services ecosystem anchored by the institutional website (comune.prato.it), the Sportello Telematico online services portal with mandatory SPID/CNS/CIE authentication, the OpenDataNetwork publishing 290+ datasets under CC-BY 4.0, and the Portale Trasparenza transparency portal. This is complemented by segmented thematic portals (Pratomigranti, Portale Giovani, Prato Turismo, Protezione Civile, Prato Conta, SUEAP) and the MacroZero Hub social innovation initiative co-designed with Save the Children.

The municipality is funded through fiscal instruments rather than commercial revenue: property tax (IMU), waste collection fees (TARI), public space occupation fees (TOSAP), tourist tax (Imposta di Soggiorno), service fees for school transport and canteens, and central government transfers including PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza) funding for infrastructure. It complies with Italian Digital Administration Code (CAD), GDPR, Legge 4/2004 accessibility requirements, and AGID standards, with integration to national infrastructure (SPID, CNS, CIE, PagoPA). Partnerships with Regione Toscana (regional coordination), AGID (digital agenda), Unione Italiana Ciechi (accessibility testing), OpenDataNetwork consortium (open data), and Save the Children (social innovation) support service delivery. The Comune is currently executing PNRR-funded road maintenance, public area redevelopment, water network improvement, and connectivity projects planned over a two-year horizon.
