Comune di Vico del Gargano

What Comune di Vico del Gargano does

Comune di Vico del Gargano is an Italian municipal government (Ente Locale) serving approximately 7,800 residents in the Province of Foggia, Puglia region. It operates as the sole local public authority for civil registration, urban planning, local taxation (IMU, TARI, tourist tax), social services, education administration, and tourism regulation within its jurisdiction. The Comune is governed by a Mayor, Giunta Comunale (five Assessori including Raffaele Sciscio, Vincenzo Azzarone, Porzia Pinto, Rita Selvaggio, and Raffaella Maria Michela Savastano), and a Consiglio Comunale, with administrative and social services staff (including Giovanni Del Viscio and Domenico Del Giudice in the Ufficio Servizi Sociali).

Its core digital infrastructure consists of the Municipium platform powering the institutional website (comune.vicodelgargano.fg.it) and mobile app, alongside the Sportello Telematico Polifunzionale multifunctional online portal that enables citizens to submit administrative procedures 24/7 via SPID, CIE, or CNS authentication. Service delivery is integrated with national platforms mandated by AgID: PagoPA for payments, APP IO for citizen engagement, and digital notifications. The municipality is WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant, CC-BY 4.0 licensed for open data, and GDPR-compliant, with PA 3.26 Srl serving as Data Protection Officer. PNRR (Next Generation EU) funding is currently driving a multi-year digital transformation covering cloud enablement, national digital data platform integration, and citizen digital experience.

The revenue model is that of a public municipality: funding derives from local taxes (IMU, TARI, tourist tax collected May-October via PagoPA per Resolution 185/2023), administrative service fees, national and regional transfers from the Italian state and Regione Puglia, and PNRR capital grants from the European Union. Customer segments are residents, tourists/visitors, tourism operators (hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals), vulnerable populations (elderly, disabled, economically disadvantaged receiving home delivery of groceries, meals, and medications), and families with school-age children. Distribution occurs through physical municipal offices (Piazza San Domenico and Largo S. Domenico), the Sportello Telematico portal, and the Municipium app. The municipality holds certification as one of "I Borghi più belli d'Italia" and is a member of the Associazione Nazionale Città dell'Olio.

Broad incumbents

• AgID (Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale: National agency for digital Italy that provides SPID, CIE, PagoPA, APP IO, and digital notification infrastructure underpinning the municipality's Sportello Telematico. Operates as a higher-level public-sector incumbent setting the technical and compliance rules the municipality must follow.
• Regione Puglia: Regional government authority that oversees Puglia municipalities, channels funding programs, and coordinates regional digital initiatives. Overlaps with Comune di Vico del Gargano on housing, urban planning, social services, and tourism promotion, but at a broader territorial scale.

Direct peers

• Comune di Rodi Garganico: Small adjacent Gargano municipality in the Province of Foggia with comparable resident base, tourism seasonality, and rural-urban service mix. Operates under the same Puglia regional oversight and faces the same PNRR digital transformation requirements.
• Comune di Vieste: Larger Gargano coastal municipality with materially higher tourism flows. Comparable as a PNRR-funded digital-services operator in the same Province of Foggia; useful reference point for what scaled-up tourist tax and digital-service operations look like in the same geography.
• Comune di Peschici: Neighboring Gargano municipality in the Province of Foggia with similar size, coastal/tourism profile, and Puglia regional governance. Most directly comparable in terms of resident population scale, seasonal tourism tax dynamics, and PNRR-funded digital service delivery obligations.
• Comune di Monte Sant'Angelo: Gargano-area municipality of comparable size with a stronger UNESCO heritage tourism profile. Comparable as a small Italian comune running municipal taxes, social services, and a digital citizen-services portal under Regione Puglia.

Others

• Hypersic (HS Promila): Back-office services platform provider used by Comune di Vico del Gargano for Albo Pretorio and servizi online. Comparable as a technology enabler for small-municipality digital service delivery in Italy.
• PagoPA S.p.A. State-owned payments platform on which the municipality collects IMU, TARI, tourist tax, and other fees. Not a competitor but a critical infrastructure counterpart enabling the municipality's transactional revenue streams.

Regional players

• Comune di Mattinata: Small Gargano-coast municipality in the same Province of Foggia with comparable resident scale and a tourism-driven revenue base. Provides a like-for-like reference for how a similarly sized Puglia comune structures taxes, social services, and digital transformation.

Emerging players

• Municipium (Ermes Srl): Technology vendor providing the Municipium website and mobile app platform that powers Comune di Vico del Gargano's institutional website. Comparable as a digital citizen-engagement stack sold to many small Italian comuni and adjacent public bodies.
