Each municipality can work individually or in combination form with other municipalities (called “consorzio”). Municipalities always have to define a so-called “Piano di Zona” at a local level. The main responsible from social, health and educational organizations have to discuss about: the strategic objectives and priorities for intervention as well as the tools and means for their realization; the organizational methods of the services, the financial, structural and professional resources, the quality requirements; how to ensure integration between the various services (health, educational, territorial ...).
