What Comune di Sorrento does

Comune di Sorrento is the municipal government authority (Ente Locale) of the city of Sorrento, located on the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Metropolitan City of Napoli, Campania region, Italy. It provides legally mandated public administration services to approximately 16,500 residents, ~2.5 million annual tourists, and local businesses operating in its jurisdiction. Core service areas include civil registry (Anagrafe), state civil status, taxation (IMU, TARI, tourist tax), urban planning and building permits, public safety (Polizia Municipale), social services, education, waste management oversight, ZTL traffic management, and cultural/tourism promotion. The municipality is led by Mayor (Sindaco) Corrado Fattorusso with approximately 200 staff organized across six departments (I-VI Dipartimento).

The municipality operates a digital service platform built on the DomosWeb.PA CMS, compliant with Italian public-administration design guidelines. The technology stack includes an online services portal (servizi.comune.sorrento.na.it), PagoPA electronic payment integration for taxes and fines, the SUAP single-window for productive-activities licensing, an Albo Pretorio for legal publications, Amministrazione Trasparente transparency portal, and a PNRR project-tracking section for Next Generation EU-funded initiatives. The digital transition is overseen by a Responsabile della Transizione al Digitale (RTD), currently Graziano Maresca, appointed under Art. 17 of the Digital Administration Code (CAD).

Revenue is derived from statutory municipal taxes including IMU (property tax), TARI (waste collection tax), the Imposta di Soggiorno (tourist tax collected from accommodation facilities), administrative fines (traffic contravvenzioni, ZTL violations), and building/urban-planning fees via SUAP. Services are delivered through physical offices at municipal headquarters in Piazza Sant'Antonino, satellite offices across departments, and the digital portal with PagoPA payments. Strategic partners include Fondazione Sorrento for tourism promotion, Regione Campania and Città Metropolitana di Napoli for regional coordination, Penisolaverde for waste management, Gori for water utility, and AGID for digital-standards compliance. The municipality maintains twin-town (gemellaggio) agreements with Mar del Plata (Argentina), Kumano (Japan), Santa Fe (USA), and Skien (Norway).
