Agci Lazio

What Agci Lazio does

AGCI Lazio (Associazione Generale Cooperative Italiane – Lazio) is a regional, nonprofit cooperative association headquartered in Rome, Italy, serving as the Lazio regional branch of the national AGCI (founded 1952). It represents more than 400 cooperative enterprises operating in the Lazio region across nine sectors — agriculture, housing, production and labor, services, credit and finance, social enterprises, culture, consumption, and environment/urban development — collectively generating over 6% of Lazio regional GDP. Its core mandate is representation, assistance, protection, and auditing of cooperatives before regional and national government bodies, exercised under the Italian Ministry of Economic Development's statutory authority for cooperative surveillance (revisione e vigilanza) per D.Lgs. 220/2002.

AGCI Lazio's service portfolio consists of three core areas: (1) statutory auditing and surveillance services for member and non-member cooperatives; (2) professional training delivered through Fon.Coop and Consorzio Meuccio Ruini; and (3) financial instruments, channeling member cooperatives to CFI (minority equity participation), Cooperfidi Italia (credit guarantees), General Fond (mutualistic fund), and Fon.Coop (continuing education funding). The organization also operates six territorial service desks (sportelli) across Roma, Latina, Civitavecchia, Viterbo, Frosinone, and Rieti, and runs project-based programs such as 'Lavoro e Professione' (youth vocational training), 'Cooperiamo' (youth self-entrepreneurship in Frosinone/Latina), 'Agire per Generare Cooperazione Innovativa' (cooperative startup support), and 'Cooperazione per lo sviluppo' (Viterbo/Rieti development).

Revenue is generated from a €500 one-time inscription fee for new cooperative members, periodic membership contributions, regulatory-mandated revision contribution fees (calculated by ministerial decree based on member count, share capital, and turnover), and fees for auditing, consulting, and training services. The organization is a private nonprofit with no external investors; it is governed by elected leadership under the XIII Regional Congress (March 25, 2025), with Marco Olivieri serving as Regional President. It is a member of the Alleanza delle Cooperative Italiane, which represents over 90% of the Italian cooperative movement nationally.
