What Comune di Cagliari does

Comune di Cagliari is the elected municipal government of the City of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia and the seat of the homonymous metropolitan city in southern Italy. It is responsible for delivering statutory local public services — civil registry, urban planning, local policing, waste management, road maintenance, social services, and cultural programming — to roughly 150,000 residents, the local business community, and visitors (including a significant tourist presence tied to the city's beaches and the Poetto waterfront). The municipality is recognized through its historic heraldic coat of arms and a formally approved coordinated visual-identity manual, and it communicates its institutional identity via a portal registered on PubblicazioniAmministrazione.it under a dedicated IPA code.

The municipality's primary digital asset is its institutional portal, which was relaunched in December 2019 and is built on the Entando open-source Composable Application Platform. The portal hosts institutional communication, news, events, and services, supported by a faceted Information Architecture / search system implemented by the third-party web agency PandoraWeb / Ikona, and by the keyword management tool IKM (Information & Keyword Management). Citizens can interact with municipal services through a multi-channel stack that combines the portal with URP front offices, the URP call center, a geoportal providing geographic and contextual services, and digital integrations with national public-sector platforms (PagoPA, SPID/CIE, IO app, SardegnaPA app, ANPR, SIOPE+), as well as WhatsApp-based tourist information. Data protection is governed by a formally appointed Data Protection Officer under GDPR / Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003.

Operationally, the municipality's funding model rests on three pillars: ordinary revenue from local taxation (notably IMU) and state transfers; EU cohesion and cooperation funding, channeled through programs such as INTERREG Italy-France Marittimo (project EdA-Z), PNRR, the Complementary National Plan (PNC), and PN Metro Plus 2021-2027; and inter-municipal collaboration through associated-management agreements (gestione associata) with six neighboring municipalities for shared services including the Laboratorio di ecologia urbana Enrico Corti established in 2024. Cross-cutting strategic activity is dominated by execution of 31 PNRR-funded projects (plus one PNC project on school infrastructure) with a target completion by December 2026, spanning digital transformation, social inclusion, infrastructure, and ecological transition.
