The Comune di Reggio Emilia exercises regulatory authority over territorial planning and land use, issuing permits and enforcing building codes within its municipal boundaries. It is responsible for maintaining essential civic services such as the Cup (central booking system) which remained unaffected during the February 2025 DDoS attack. The municipality’s role in safeguarding continuity of these services highlights its focus on resilience and public safety. It operates under the oversight of national institutions, including the Italian cybersecurity agency that monitors and advises on threat mitigation for local administrations. Being part of Italy’s public administration, the Comune di Reggio Emilia is funded through municipal budgets and state transfers, without private ownership or subsidiary structures.
