Comune di Melzo

What Comune di Melzo does

Comune di Melzo is a public municipal government entity (Ente Locale) located in Melzo within the Città Metropolitana di Milano, Regione Lombardia, Italy, operating under the oversight of parent authority Città Metropolitana di Milano. It delivers essential public-administration services to the citizens and residents of Melzo — including civil registry (anagrafe), electronic identity card issuance (Carta d'Identità Elettronica), school services (mensa, pre/post scuola, nido d'infanzia comunale 'A piccoli passi'), social services (elderly care, anti-violence support), local policing, urban planning and public works, waste management (TARI), library and cultural services (Biblioteca Civica 'Vittorio Sereni', Teatro Trivulzio), and civic engagement. The municipality operates with a headcount of 39 employees and is led by Mayor Fusè with a council that includes Vicesindaco Ladini and councilors with delegated portfolios. Comune di Melzo also acts as capofila (lead municipality) for the Rete Antiviolenza Adda Martesana V.I.O.L.A., an inter-institutional gender-based violence network formalized in 2017 covering 28 municipalities of the Adda Martesana territory.

The municipality's core technology infrastructure is the Municipium platform — a Laravel-based SaaS widely adopted by Italian municipalities — which powers the official website (comune.melzo.mi.it) and integrates with national systems: PagoPA for public payments, ANPR (Anagrafe Nazionale della Popolazione Residente) for population registry, INAD (Indirizzo Digitale Arruolato) for digital domicile, and CIE for electronic identity. The citizen-facing product portfolio includes the Portale Servizi Online (online services portal), the Sportello Polifunzionale Spazio Città in-person counter, the App Municipium mobile application with Segnalazioni (photo-enabled issue reporting), the 'Decido Anch'io' participatory budgeting platform allocating €105,000 across four themes (including a Junior track for ages 9-15), SUAP and SUE single windows for business and construction permits, the 'Distretto Urbano del Commercio Ti Conviene in Città' urban commerce revitalization programme, the LA' Ciclostazione bicycle facility at the rail station, Melzo FreeWifi public WiFi, and the monthly Melzo Notizie newsletter.

As a public administration, Comune di Melzo does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding derives from municipal taxation — chiefly TARI assessed under the 2026-2029 waste management economic-financial plan approved by the Consiglio Comunale on 28 July 2026 — plus building permit fees, civil status service fees, user fees such as paid parking (stalli blu) and market stall concessions, and transfers from Regione Lombardia and the national government. Regional passthrough funding via the DUC programme channeled €72,072.06 to 38 local businesses in the 2022-2024 cycle and supported approximately 58 SMEs with combined €147,000 in 2020-2021. The entity is publicly owned, governed by elected officials, and accountable to its citizens under the Italian state administrative framework.
