Comune Di Dozza

What Comune Di Dozza does

Comune di Dozza is a municipal government entity (Ente Comunale) operating under Italian law in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna region. The municipality administers civil registry services (anagrafe e stato civile), urban planning, education coordination, social services, environmental services, local transportation, and public safety for residents of Dozza and the secondary frazione of Toscanella. It is part of the Nuovo Circondario Imolese consortium, which coordinates shared services including civil protection, local police, and territorial planning across multiple municipalities. The entity is led by Mayor Albertazzi, who also serves as Vice President of 'I Borghi più Belli d'Italia'.

The municipality's digital infrastructure is built on a Plone CMS-powered institutional website (comune.dozza.bo.it), with citizen authentication via Italy's SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) and CIE (Carta d'Identità Elettronica) systems. Its digital service portfolio includes the Digital Twin of Dozza Borgo and Rocca Museum, mobile applications for wine tourism (Discover Dozza) and mural tours (WebApp Guido), the Carta Smeraldo smart waste management card system (launched January 2025), and the PolisEye urban technology project showcased at IBE 2024. Technical development is handled by RedTurtle Technology Srl, with infrastructure support from SIA (Sistemi Informativi Associati del Nuovo Circondario Imolese). The municipality is also implementing flood recovery platforms (Sfinge Alluvione 2023, Sportello Ricostruzione) following the May 2023 and September 2024 flood emergencies.

Comune di Dozza is funded through local property taxes (IMU, TASI), waste management fees (TARI), state transfers, administrative fees, and fines. Core municipal services are provided free at point of use to residents, with specific service fees applied according to municipal fee schedules. The entity is also receiving PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza) funding from the European Union's Next Generation EU program for digital and infrastructure modernization. As a member of 'I Borghi più Belli d'Italia', the municipality leverages its cultural heritage — including the Muro Dipinto murals, Rocca fortress, Festa del Vino, and Biennale del Muro Dipinto — for tourism and local economic development.
