Tribunale di Milano

What Tribunale di Milano does

The Tribunale di Milano is the Ordinary Court of first instance for the Province of Milan within the Italian national judiciary. Its headquarters, the Palazzo di Giustizia, was constructed between 1932 and 1940 to a design by architect Marcello Piacentini and houses the President's office, administrative management, and the court's civil, criminal, and administrative sectors. A second operational site at Via San Barnaba 50 accommodates the Labor Section (Sezione Lavoro), the guardianship/minors section (Section VIII Civil), and the family section (Section IX Civil). The court exercises territorial jurisdiction over Milano city and 88 surrounding municipalities (approximately 3.2 million residents) and operates 42 proximity offices across the Lombardy Region covering 298 municipalities to deliver voluntary jurisdiction services. The organization is staffed by 251-500 public-sector personnel and is entirely state-owned under the Italian Ministry of Justice (Ministero della Giustizia).

The court delivers civil justice (15 civil sections plus Labor), criminal justice (11 criminal sections plus Tribunal of Review, Assize Court, and Autonomous Prevention Measures), and specialized sections covering business/insolvency (Tribunale delle Imprese), immigration, family, and guardianship/protection of vulnerable persons. Its underlying technology stack comprises national telematic platforms — PCT (Processo Civile Telematico) for electronic civil filings, SNT (Sistema Notifiche Telematiche) for electronic notifications, TIAP for digitized criminal case files at the GIP Infopoint, PagoPA for court fee payments, and the Istanza Web platform for criminal justice expense liquidations. Specialized applications include Spedigius (justice expense liquidation for state-funded legal aid, live July 1, 2026), GIADA 2 (algorithmic criminal case assignment, live February 2026), and the APP mobile application for criminal procedure filings (currently in extended temporary suspension through September 30, 2026). An online appointment booking system (Agenda Prenotazioni) covers criminal registry, inheritance renunciation, notarized acts, translations, and guardianship services.

The tribunal's commercial activity is limited to regulated transaction fees (court filing fees under DPR 115/2002, copy fees of €8 for electronic and €25 for physical media transmission, a €27 fee for civil status corrections, and judicial sale fees via the PVP platform). Pricing is non-negotiable and set by national legislation, with mandatory electronic payment via PagoPA since February 28, 2023 for civil cases. The court does not generate commercial revenue; its operating budget derives from Ministry of Justice appropriations. Its primary "customer" segments are individual citizens, lawyers (avvocati), businesses in insolvency or contractual dispute, and professional experts (CTU/periti). Institutional distribution occurs through physical court locations, the Portale Servizi Telematici (PST), and the proximity office network, with 21 documented strategic partnerships spanning universities, accounting bodies, the Procura della Repubblica, the Comune di Milano, and anti-violence organizations.
