Lombardy Approves Regional Legislation to Support Local Artisans

The Lombardy Regional Council has approved a bill titled “Regional Policies on Craftsmanship,” aimed at streamlining procedures, reducing bureaucracy, and reorganizing regulations to support local businesses. The legislation enhances initiatives like Lombard Artisan Quality and improves coordination with chambers of commerce and industry associations to facilitate access to regional financial tools.

The law assigns programming and economic support functions to the region, with chambers managing business registration and municipalities conducting operational checks. It also strengthens the Technical Craftsmanship Committee and includes measures such as recognizing “Historic Activities,” providing credit access tools, digitalization incentives, energy efficiency support, and programs for internationalization and generational renewal.
