On November 11, the Sala della Disciplina in Bardolino will host an important conference dedicated to urban surveillance, scheduled from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. This meeting is open to all law enforcement agencies and public administrators and will address crucial topics regarding the integration of technology in urban security, with a particular focus on privacy and the use of artificial intelligence.

An Enhanced Security System

Urban surveillance serves as a valuable tool for monitoring the territory, contributing not only to the identification of illegal behaviors but also to deterring potential criminal acts. In this regard, the Municipality of Bardolino has announced that approximately one hundred new electronic devices will be installed over the next year, thereby enhancing the existing system.

Conference Details

Titled “Integrated Urban Surveillance: Balancing Technology, Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence,” the event will feature three expert speakers in the field:

• Dr. Stefano Manzelli, coordinator of the research group Sicurezzaurbanaitegrata.it.
• Ing. Andrea Bigliardi, Business Development Manager Italy.
• Dr. Gianluca Sivieri, specialist in judicial police and territorial control.

Francesco De Santis, commander of the local police in Bardolino, has indicated that the focus of the meeting will be on the challenges and opportunities offered by modern urban security systems. Aspects related to the management of devices and privacy regulations to ensure legal compliance will also be discussed.

Investments in Public Safety

Mayor Daniele Bertasi provided further details on the urban surveillance renewal project: “We aim to award the contract by the end of the year to begin work in the first months of 2025.” The new systems will replace outdated equipment and will be placed in strategic locations throughout the city. Additionally, an innovative license plate reading system will be implemented, directly connected to the Carabinieri stations.

The total investment for this initiative amounts to 450,000 euros, part of which will be covered by a ministerial grant of 62,000 euros.
