Comune di Pietrasanta

What Comune di Pietrasanta does

Comune di Pietrasanta is an Italian municipal government entity (Ente Locale) operating under public law in the Province of Lucca, Tuscany, serving the comune of Pietrasanta and its frazioni including Marina di Pietrasanta and Valdicastello in the Versilia region. It provides mandatory public administrative services — civil registry, local taxation, urban planning, waste management, education, social services, business licensing, and tourism management — to residents, local businesses, and visitors within its territorial jurisdiction. The entity is led by Sindaco Alberto Stefano Giovannetti, supported by Vicesindaco Francesca Bresciani and Presidente del Consiglio Comunale Paola Margherita Brizzolari, with governance provided by a Consiglio Comunale of 18 councillors and administrative execution by a Dirigente-led technical staff of 58 employees.

The municipality's digital infrastructure is delivered through a Municipium-powered cloud platform offering approximately 100 citizen-facing services, with authentication via SPID, CIE, eIDAS, and CNS/TS-CNS. Core integrations include ANPR (Anagrafe Nazionale della Popolazione Residente) for centralized civil registry, pagoPA for tax and fee payments, Flowbird for parking, and the SIT (Territorial Information System) for geographic data. Business-facing services are provided through the SUAP (Single Window for Productive Activities) and SUE (Single Window for Construction) channels. The commune holds AGID accessibility compliance certification and maintains a transparency portal ('Amministrazione Trasparente') per Italian law.

Revenue is generated primarily through local tax instruments — IMU (property tax), TARI (waste tax), imposte di soggiorno (tourist tax), and Canone Unico Patrimoniale — alongside transaction-based fees from urban planning permits, parking, maritime concessions, and SUAP processing. Capital expenditure is partially funded through PNRR/NextGenerationEU grants earmarked for infrastructure, digital transformation, and sustainable development. The commune also holds partial ownership of municipal pharmacies (Farmacie Comunali) and pursues cultural positioning through the 70-year-old Premio Carducci poetry prize, the Igor Mitoraj sculpture museum, and active candidacy for Capitale Italiana dell'Arte Contemporanea 2027. Reported strategic actions in 2026 include the PUA coastal planning approval, a Motrone roundabout infrastructure agreement with Anas, the €300K Pesciolino land acquisition, and a friendship pact with Comune di Castagneto Carducci.
