history

In the early modern period , only a few municipalities or states in Italy established a cadastral system. The first approaches can be found in Florence in 1427, but exclusively for taxation purposes ( Gabella Possessionum ), as well as in the Republic of Venice , which sought to secure the resources for shipbuilding with its forest cadastre . In the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont , Viktor Amadeus II ordered the establishment of a state cadastral system for his holdings on the mainland in 1728. The so-called Milan cadastre , which Empress Maria Theresia was able to introduce in her Duchy of Milan in 1760 thanks to the surveying work of Johann Jakob Marinoni, was of fundamental importance for later developments . In the southern Italian kingdom of Naples , Charles III commissioned. in 1740 the municipalities with the establishment of the Catasto Onciario , a descriptive cadastre without precise measurement bases , which should only serve the fairer taxation. Here, in 1781, the Reale Officio Topografico, the first cartographic institution in Italy, was founded, which, however, was not entrusted with the cadastral but with the national survey. In 1807 Napoleon I ordered surveys in the northern and central Italian kingdom of Italy and the establishment of a land registry, which was the first time that a largely uniform metric survey system was introduced in Italy. In the course of the restoration , the Savoy and Habsburgs developed their cadastral systems in northern and central Italy. During the Papal States followed suit from 1816, which remained Kingdom of the Two Sicily back the parcels register.

When Italy was unified in 1861, the foundations for the establishment of a uniform cadastral system were largely in place. The Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont with its Napoleonic-influenced system was in charge, but it was not until a law of 1886 that the surveying and cadastral systems were really standardized, for which the technical district offices of the Ministry of Finance and the municipalities were responsible. In contrast, the Habsburg cadastral and land register regulations were confirmed in 1929 and 1932 in the areas annexed to Italy after the First World War . These regulations are also the reason for the special administrative powers and exceptional regulations that South Tyrol and some other provinces and municipalities have today in the area of ​​land register and cadastre.

In 1901 the Ministry of Finance in Rome established its own land registry department, headed by the scientist Giovanni Boaga from 1945 to 1954 . Under his direction, the surveying and cadastral system was rebuilt and then expanded after the turmoil of World War II . In the course of a far-reaching reform of the Italian ministerial bureaucracy, the land registry department and its subordinate departments were spun off from the ministry in 2001 and transferred to the administratively independent authority Agenzia del Territorio .

As part of the austerity and rationalization measures of the Monti government (revisione della spesa) , the Agenzia del Territorio was taken over on December 1, 2012 by the general tax authority Agenzia delle Entrate . The integration process was completed in 2013.
