What Comune di Malalbergo does

Comune di Malalbergo is an Italian municipal government (Ente Locale) headquartered at Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia 2, 40051 Malalbergo (BO), serving the residents, businesses, and institutions within its territorial jurisdiction in the Città Metropolitana di Bologna, Regione Emilia-Romagna. It is the legally constituted provider of essential public administration services — anagrafe, stato civile, CIE identity documents, SPID digital identity support, urban planning and building permits (CILA, seismic authorizations via the Sportello Unico per l'Edilizia), school transport, cultural programs, environmental services, and local civil protection. It is part of the Unione dei Comuni Terre di Pianura consortium, through which it shares school-transport and waste-tariff administration with neighbouring municipalities, and operates the Servizio Sismica Associato in concert with Unione Reno Galliera.

The municipality's technology stack is built on the ComWeb CMS platform (developed by ePublic S.r.l. of Novara), which is AGID-certified and listed in the ACN Cloud SaaS catalog (code SA-1055), compliant with Designers Italia PA design guidelines. The public-facing service portfolio includes an authenticated Area Personale portal (SPID/CIE), the national PagoPA payment gateway, an online appointment-booking platform (IPA code C_E844), the Albo Pretorio digital bulletin board, the SIT territorial information system, live streaming of council sessions, and a WhatsApp/YouTube/Facebook/RSS/newsletter communication layer. Integrations extend to OpenStreetMap, Vimeo, Google services, ShinyStat analytics, and the AGID accessibility declaration and PA Website Validator frameworks. Compliance certifications include AGID, GDPR (EU 2016/679), the Italian Privacy Code (D.Lgs. 196/2003), CC-BY 4.0 open-data release under CAD Art. 52, and published accessibility statements.

Revenue is generated through mandatory municipal taxes (IMU, TARI and similar levies), transfers from Regione Emilia-Romagna and the national government, and transactional administrative service fees (€90 for CILA communications, €115 plus surcharge for seismic practices) and monthly school-transport subscriptions collected via PagoPA. The entity is a public institution governed by an elected mayor and council, not a commercial enterprise; there is no parent company in the corporate sense, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no commercial headcount disclosure. Strategic direction is set by Italian public-administration law, regional policy, and the NextGenerationEU-aligned development programs in which the municipality participates.
