The availability of Electronic Voting Systems and solutions such as videostreaming and videorecording are already consolidated on the market for use in Parliaments as well as in large-sized Legislative Assemblies, aware of the importance of embarking along the path of digital advancement.
However, during recent years, using tools such as the Multimedia Integrated System has further become more and more frequent by a large number of local bodies existing in Italy, such as Municipalities, Provinces and Regions.
Among others, an example is the Regional Council of Lombardy that has for some years already transformed the Assembly Hall into a real and proper multimedia station placing it among one of the most technologic Assemblies in Italy.
The path towards ICT development and digitalization is without doubt easier and quicker for smaller-sized bodies. According to the latest report of the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in fact, while 82% of the larger Municipalities made use of sophisticated technologies, only 16% of the smaller did so.
Even though the financial resources were scarce and the staff's qualifications were rather lacking in the ICT sector, in small-sized Municipalities as well adopting Technology is becoming an essential factor.
In smaller municipalities the advantages that ICT offer are in fact undeniable in terms of enhancing relations with citizens as well as optimizing internal administrative procedures.
