It deals with all the major branches of the Italian Law by providing news, articles, judgments, documentation, databases, forms, tools and services including the calculation of the biological damage and the full text of judgments. The database, last updated on November , is organized in documentary units corresponding to the individual types of material taken into consideration; as a result, each site may appear in more than one survey form according to the richness of the documentation possessed.
The information relates to providers, access free-of-charge or for a fee , the type of material Laws, Jurisprudence, Legal literature, etc. Three solutions have been prepared for those wishing to carry out a search: Actually the "Diritto Italia" database is not up-to-date; in fact, the principal purpose of the project was to provide a model of document research and retrieval on the Web, hoping that other operators go on with this kind of enterprise.
It is right to point out that the updating of these Guides is crucial for their efficiency since URLs and contents of the Websites continually change, while the cooperation process, that is at the base of the Web philosophy, is still now disregarded. DFP is a structured list of Italian Internet resources, which makes public information available, focusing special attention on legislative information and legal information in general ; it is also integrated with the discussion list of the Italian AIB-CUR Italian Libraries Association - Research University Center librarians , in the sense that it gathers reports transmitted on that list.
The DFP is a very selective directory that points out websites but, above all, resources that often are not in evidence in the HomePage of the public sites.

The "Internet Guide" section - that contains directories of Italian and foreign English, in particular Guides, Hand Books, News Bulletins, Forums and Mailing Lists - is worthy of pointing out since it gives useful suggestions on how to use Web research tools search engines and meta-engines in the right way.
Every Web resource is described by means of a form containing its name, URL, and a brief description. Sites of Legal Interest Apart from these resources aimed at retrieving legal material and access to the sources of Italian law, there is now a great variety of institutional or private online sites, structured as portals rich in information and services.
Parliament, Government and Ministries With the premise that not only the websites of Parliament and Government, but also those of all Government Departments can be found on the Web, we shall only concentrate on those we consider worthy of special attention. Enriched in the contents and renewed in the graphics, this Website aims to represent an informative resource of easy and intuitive access to the life of the parliamentary institution.
Through the home page the citizen can not only reach the sites of the Chamber of the Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, but can also directly consult the most remarkable results of the joint activity of the two Chambers, as the approved laws or the joined activities of the bicameral bodies, besides the international activity of the Italian Parliament. A specific area of the site concerns the "Polo Bibliotecario" Parliament Library Pole and its services, first result of the effort of the two Chambers to empower the information and search tools at the disposal of the parliamentaries and all the citizens, overcoming at the same time duplications and inefficiency.
The "Piattaforma Costituzionale" Constitutional Platform represents the product of a common job in order to furnish support of training for all the Italian schools. The site contains a database of Italian normative acts of primary range laws, law decrees and legislative decrees, starting from which can be searched in chronological order, by type and by subject matter, based on the TESEO [ [4] ] classification system. For every law number and date of publication with the link to the corresponding text , title, subject, publication details and a summarizing table of the relative parliamentary iter from which it is possible to access the texts of the preparatory works are furnished.
Furthermore, for the enabling acts a details table supplies the list of the single dispositions of delegation and the relative implementation decrees. The most requested laws, decrees approved but not promulgated or published, and decree laws under way to be converted in law can also be retrieved. There is also a database of legislative decrees which implement delegated laws, EC Directives, or special Statutes that can be searched on the server of the Chamber of Deputies through a search engine.
As already specified, the site of Parliament is divided into two sectors: The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic. Camera dei Deputati Chamber of Deputies: The website is structured in 7 sections: Apart from providing information about its role, the work underway, as well as initiatives and events, the Chamber of Deputies furnishes latest news and press releases. The users of the Website have direct access to various sections: Especially important are the following databases: The database concerning the Parliament direction and control action allows the data related to questions, interpellations, motions, decisions, agendas, both of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, to be searched and retrieved.
In this new version, the database substitutes the earlier database, known as "Sindacato ispettivo" "Inspecting Parliamentary Action". The following are its characteristics: The original nucleus, entirely realized by the Chamber of Deputies, was made available on the Web through the joint efforts of the Chamber of Deputies, the Supreme Court of Cassation and the Regional Councils.
Since , the legislative texts have been directly supplied by the Regions and the Autonomous Provinces. Normative references of the laws are provided by the Supreme Court of Cassation, while the Library of the Chamber of Deputies takes care of the overall management and updating. Senato della Repubblica Senate of the Republic: Il sito comprende 6 sezioni: Beside providing information about its role, members, work, documents and latest news, the Senate of the Republic site provides an entire section of the website is completely dedicated to the texts which are submitted under Parliament consideration: As we have already mentioned, each Ministry can be found on the Web with its own site, often divided into several sectors, starting with the Prime Minister's Office , which not only provides more general information and services, but also gives news about the course of Government provisions.
In nearly every case, the sites of the Ministries are presented as Portals with a variety of very important information and services. As regards the reform process which is now operative in Italian Public Institutions, you can consider the so called "Ministri senza portafoglio", who don't have indipendent financial powers: The MEF homepage, contains information on the structure and role of the Ministry, and provides information about the Taxation Agencies, the CIPE, the Administration of State Monopolies, and the like, and a list of links - organized by type - to institutional sites.
