Rome, 12 June 2026 – The new Normattiva Open Data Portal was presented at Forum PA during a session organised by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers – Department for Legal and Legislative Affairs (DAGL). Designed by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), the portal forms part of Italy’s broader open government and digital transformation agenda and marks a significant milestone in the digital evolution of the country’s legislative system.

The event featured contributions from Claudio Zucchelli, Honorary Deputy President of the Council of State and Coordinator of the Normattiva Technical Committee; Simone Neri, Head of Service at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and Coordinator of the Office for Legal Studies, Documentation and Regulatory Quality at DAGL; Elisabetta Squartini, Market Unit Manager for Common, Publishing and Legal Products at IPZS; and Emanuela Bonanni, Project Manager at IPZS.

The session provided an opportunity to explore the ongoing development of the Normattiva platform and to introduce the new system, which enables the secure export of legislative acts to public administrations, businesses, universities, research centres, and developer communities.

Far more than a new technological platform, the portal represents a strategic infrastructure that recognises legislation as an essential public data asset. By making legislative content accessible, interoperable, and reusable, it opens new opportunities for public administrations, businesses, academic institutions, research organisations, and developers.

Its objective is to make the entire body of Italian legislation available in open and standardised formats, promoting transparency, legal certainty, innovation, and the development of new digital services based on legislative data. The platform provides access to legislative acts in structured and interoperable formats aligned with European standards and includes tools for consultation, analysis, and the creation of customised datasets.

The project reflects a broader vision of Italy’s digital transformation: turning legislation into an enabling infrastructure that supports more efficient public administrations, innovative digital services, and greater institutional transparency. It represents a decisive step towards an open, interoperable, and innovation-driven public digital ecosystem.
