Comune di Fossano

What Comune di Fossano does

Comune di Fossano is the municipal government of Fossano, a city of approximately 25,000 residents in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont Region, Italy, tracing its origins to 1198. The administration delivers statutory public services mandated by Italian law, including civil status registration, urban planning and building permits, local tax administration (IMU, TARI, TASI), social services coordination, public works, environmental protection, local policing, cultural heritage preservation, and library services. Service delivery is anchored by a WordPress-based institutional portal (comune.fossano.cn.it) integrated with national digital infrastructure: SPID, CIE, and CNS authentication; the PagoPA payment platform; ANPR (National Population Registry); a SUAP single window for productive activities; and a GeoPortal GIS for territorial management. A URP citizen service desk at the Via Roma 91 headquarters provides physical front-office access.

The operating model is funded through local taxes, government transfers, and regulated administrative fees rather than commercial revenue, with no shareholders and accountability to citizens through democratic processes. The municipality wholly owns ASM Multiservizi (an in-house utility company delivering waste, water, and environmental services), the Sistema Bibliotecario (a shared library system with Saluzzo and Savigliano housing over 150,000 volumes), and the Visit Fossano tourism portal. It participates in jointly-controlled Consorzio Monviso Solidale for social services and C.U.C. Fossano Cervere for shared procurement. Current mayor is Dario Tallone, with Alex Davico serving as Dirigente of the Public Works Department. The administration operates under regulatory oversight from Regione Piemonte and Provincia di Cuneo, and implements PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza) measures alongside regional environmental protocols.
