The Italian Department of the Treasury has launched development of a new application to record public real estate assets (pursuant to article 2, paragraph 222, of Italian Law no. 191 of 23 December 2009).
Ten years after the ‘general government assets project’ was launched, the public property database - with information on more than two million state-owned real estate assets - will be migrated to a more technologically advanced platform. This will further enhance the already successful interoperability with land registry archives, as well as allowing for interaction with other databases and the development of new functions and services.

This technological change will also alter how information is fed into the database. Currently, an annual census is conducted, with information on the real estate assets held at 31 December of the year of reference being loaded up during the census period. The transition to the new application will allow for information to be “continuously recorded”, giving public administrations the opportunity to report any changes to the real estate assets already declared and loaded into the system on an ongoing basis.
The new application will also focus on the unambiguity of the property information that is shared between the public administrations that own the assets and any administrations that may need to use said information, with a view to improving data quality.
As usual, this information can be entered per single property, with a graphic interface making compilation easier, or on a bulk basis by uploading files.

The new application will start to be used for data acquisition within the first four months of 2021.

Further information, supporting the new communication process, will be made available on the Department of the Treasury's Online Services website and through the usual information channels.
