Comune di Rho

What Comune di Rho does

Comune di Rho is a municipal government entity serving the city of Rho within the Città Metropolitana di Milano in Lombardy, Italy. It delivers statutory public administration services to residents, local businesses, vulnerable populations, and visitors through a multi-channel service architecture spanning physical offices, digital platforms, and remote support. The municipality operates the QUIC (Sportello del Cittadino) citizen service desk at Via De Amicis 1 with 14+ staff, supplemented by the main headquarters at Piazza Visconti 23 and eight additional facilities including nursery school units, sports centers, Villa Burba, the Sala Azzurra meeting room, the tourist infopoint, the Nuvola Rossa structure, and the Centro Anziani Stella Polare senior center.

The core technology stack centers on the ComWeb CMS platform developed by ePublic S.r.l., which is AGID-certified (certification ID SA-1055) for cloud services and compliant with national digital design guidelines. The municipality has integrated with Italy's national digital infrastructure including PagoPA for payments, SPID/CIE for citizen authentication, ANPR for the National Population Registry, App IO for citizen communications, PDND for national data interoperability, and OpenStreetMap for geographic services. The LaMiaCittà mobile application for iOS and Android extends service access to smartphones and tablets, while an online appointment booking system supports digital scheduling for civil registry, identity documents, and administrative procedures. The municipality is executing a cloud migration under PNRR Investment 1.2 and is GDPR-compliant with 164 privacy notices covering its service portfolio.

The municipality's revenue derives from multiple streams: recurring municipal taxes (IMU, TARI, Canone Unico Patrimoniale), transaction-based administrative service fees, tourism tax (Imposta di Soggiorno), and managed PNRR/EU funding for capital programs. Two flagship investment programs anchor near-term activity: Rho>Next, with €63 million total project value across 31 city-wide interventions (€50 million PNRR-funded), and the SSUS Sustainable Urban Development Strategy valued at €24.3 million targeting the underserved Lucernate, San Michele, and San Martino neighborhoods (€19.3 million EU-funded via FESR, FSE+, and FSC). Strategic partnerships include Regione Lombardia, Città Metropolitana di Milano, AgID, PagoPA S.p.A., ARIA S.p.A. (Sintel), and ASST Rhodense. The municipality maintains active communication channels including an 8-language website, dedicated Visit Rho tourism portal, and social media presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
