Each local authority bears expenses to maintain offices that guarantee its functioning: from institutional bodies to those for personnel. A cost that can vary greatly from city to city.
in 2014 Napoli e Venezia they spent over 600 euros for each inhabitant, while Florence e Bari less than half. The other major cities fall between these two extremes. Roma e Milano, i.e. the two largest Italian municipalities, are paired in the middle of the table (eighth and ninth place), with respectively 397,33 and 373,77 euros per capita in administrative expenses. Here is the ranking:
Among the costs that each municipality has to bear are the expenses for the structures that carry out the administrative functions of the institution. Their main activities are not so much providing services to users as organizing and running the institution itself.
In other words, it is the administration expenses. This includes the costs of the offices that deal with internal activities, such as the general secretariat, the human resources office, the statistical service and the municipal registry office. All offices employed in management and economic-financial planning are also counted in administrative expenses. For example, the treasury service and those relating to management control, coordination of tax revenues and tax services; the management of state-owned and patrimonial assets.
Furthermore there are the offices for the political bodies, ie all the expenses that the municipality supports for the functioning of the council and the municipal council, including allowances and attendance fees for the administrators. Through openbilanci.it it is possible to see how much administration costs cost to each municipality. Among cities with more than 200 inhabitants, great variability was recorded in 2014.
