FNOVI

What FNOVI does

FNOVI (Federazione Nazionale Ordini Veterinari Italiani) is the Italian national federation coordinating 106 provincial veterinary orders across Italy. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Rome at Via del Tritone 125, the federation operates as a public-professional nonprofit under Italian law, with mandatory membership covering approximately 25,000+ registered veterinarians. Governance is structured through a 14-member Central Committee (Comitato Centrale) led by President Gaetano Penocchio, a 3-member Board of Auditors (Collegio dei Revisori), 6 regional/interregional federations (Nord Ovest, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Toscana, Sicilia), and 15+ standing working groups covering One Health, pharmaceuticals, animal-assisted interventions, apiculture, equines, new technologies and AI, and professional welfare.

FNOVI's core service portfolio is delivered through a unified digital ecosystem: the SPC (Sviluppo Professionale Continuo) e-learning platform and FAD (Formazione a Distanza) for mandatory continuing professional education credit tracking (managed in co-controllership with ProfConservizi); the Vetflix video platform for professional webinars and educational content; the REV (Ricetta Elettronica Veterinaria) regulatory guidance framework supporting compliance with EU Regulation 2019/6 and Italian D.Lgs. 218/2023; the official "30 Giorni" monthly journal; and the Albi e Iscritti national professional registry including STP practice directories. Communications span a weekly newsletter, social media channels, a press office, and public service campaigns such as "Nelle Sue Zampe" (animal abandonment awareness) and "Tu sei la mia meta" (One Health).

The federation is funded exclusively through mandatory membership dues flowing from 106 provincial orders; it does not sell commercial products or services and does not disclose financial statements. Strategic engagement extends internationally via the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE), an emerging World Veterinary Association (WVA) membership track, EBVS collaboration development, and outreach to AICS and MAECI for international cooperation projects. Domestic institutional partners include the Italian Ministry of Health (Ministero della Salute) for regulatory consultation and ENPAV for welfare fund coordination.
