Unione dei Comuni della Bassa Romagna

What Unione dei Comuni della Bassa Romagna does

The Unione dei Comuni della Bassa Romagna is a public administrative entity (Italian union of municipalities) constituted under Italian public law in 2008, building on a collaborative track for civil protection functions dating to 1994. Headquartered at Piazza dei Martiri n.1 in Lugo (province of Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna), it federates 9 municipalities — Alfonsine, Bagnacavallo, Bagnara di Romagna, Conselice, Cotignola, Fusignano, Lugo, Massa Lombarda, and Sant'Agata sul Santerno — under a single governance structure (President, Giunta, and 31-member Consiglio). Its core function is the centralized delivery of municipal public services — civil registry, social services, urban planning, environmental management, civil protection, culture, and tourism — across the territory, accessible both in person at municipal offices/URPs and online.

The organization's service portfolio is anchored on the OpenCity Italia CMS platform provided by OpenCity Labs, with the Portale dei servizi online (servizionline.labassaromagna.it) and Portale dei pagamenti (PagoPA-integrated) as primary citizen-facing channels. Supporting infrastructure includes the Sistema Informativo Territoriale (SIT) for territorial cartography, the Rilfedeur citizen-reporting app (iOS/Android), the PNRR-funded Digitale Facile program (21 digital facilitation points for SPID, CIE, ANPR, PagoPA, APP IO support), and emergency-response platforms VolontariSOS and Setiserve.it (2024). Authentication is integrated with SPID, CNS, and CIE; data protection is handled by LepidaSpA as DPO. The entity is AGID- and GDPR-compliant and publishes content under CC-BY 4.0.

Funding comes from municipal contributions by the 9 member communes (scaled by population and services rendered), EU/PNRR project grants (FLOODSCAPE, FRESCO, Value Plus, Digitale Facile), and modest administrative fees (e.g., 250 Euro citizenship contribution, 16 Euro stamp duty on signature authentication). The current President is Elena Zannoni (mayor of Lugo, 2024–2029 term). Leadership includes directors Marco Mondini (Technological Innovation), Federico Vespignani (Strategic Projects, Economic Development and Territorial Promotion), and department heads for Legal, Communication/Tourism, and Culture. The headcount band is 101–250 employees.
