There are many Italian municipalities that immediately adapted to the situation in the context of the management of the Coronavirus emergency. Not only large municipalities but also small centres and administrations have chosen smart working as the ordinary form of carrying out work at this time.
Many municipalities had experimented with this way of working for a long time. Others, however, have transitioned into high-tech mode over just a few weeks, except in some cases which require the presence of staff in the municipal office. Many workings are also reduced and in rotational mode, ANCI informs.
