What Comune di Castel Maggiore does

Comune di Castel Maggiore is the municipal government of Castel Maggiore, a small comune in the province of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, operating under Italy's Testo Unico degli Enti Locali (D.Lgs. 267/2000). It provides statutory local public services to residents, local businesses, and visitors, including civil registry (Anagrafe e Stato Civile), urban planning, waste management (transitioning to a Tariffa Corrispettiva Puntuale model in 2027), taxation (IMU, TARI), public education and health service coordination, public safety, civil protection, and cultural programming. The municipality is governed by an elected Sindaco (Mayor Vignoli), Giunta, and Consiglio Comunale, with the most recent leadership installed following the June 2024 administrative elections.

Its core technology footprint is a Plone-based civic portal (comune.castel-maggiore.bo.it) integrated with the Emilia-Romagna regional identity stack, specifically SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale), CIE (Carta di Identità Elettronica), and Lepida ID via the regional Rete Civica. Supporting citizen-engagement channels include the Comuni-chiamo reporting platform, an email newsletter and Alert System subscription service, and integration with the Unione Reno Galliera inter-municipal union for shared administrative functions such as the unified Piano Urbanistico Generale (PUG). A documented Piano di Miglioramento del Sito tracks Core Web Vitals optimization. The entity is GDPR-compliant and operates under Italian public-sector transparency obligations (Amministrazione Trasparente, Albo Pretorio), with funding drawn from municipal taxes, state transfers, and PNRR/Next Generation EU project allocations.
