Comune di Bardolino

What Comune di Bardolino does

Comune di Bardolino is an Italian municipal government entity (Ente Locale) governing the town of Bardolino on the eastern shore of Lake Garda in the province of Verona, Veneto region. The municipality serves a permanent population of approximately 7,000-8,000 residents across the localities of Bardolino, Cisano, and Calmasino, with significant additional seasonal demand from Lake Garda tourism. It delivers statutory public services including civil registry administration, urban planning, waste management, local policing, education, social services, and cultural event organization.

The municipality's service platform is built on the Municipium content and citizen-engagement framework, integrated with national Italian digital infrastructure: the Sportello Telematico portal for over 100 administrative procedures, PagoPA for payments, ANPR for demographic services, and SUAP/SUE single-window portals for business and construction permits. Supporting channels include a dedicated mobile app, an official WhatsApp channel, and physical municipal offices at Piazzetta San Gervaso 1 and Villa Carrara Bottagisio. The municipality also operates the VisitBardolino tourism sub-brand and oversees the Fondazione Bardolino TOP foundation for tourism and cultural promotion.

Revenue is generated exclusively through statutory municipal instruments: IMU (property tax), TARI (waste tax), addizionale comunale IRPEF, the imposta di soggiorno (tourist tax) collected via an online portal, the Canone Unico Patrimoniale for public land and advertising, and service fees. As a public administration entity under Italian law, Comune di Bardolino does not operate on commercial revenue mechanics and does not publicly disclose budget figures in commercial terms. The municipality is led by Mayor Daniele Bertasi (elected 2024) for the 2024-2029 mandate and has no parent company or external ownership.
