<DT><A HREF="https://www.registroimprese.it/">Registro Imprese - The official Italian companies registry and offers a wide array of basic information and data: company’s purpose, legal email address, locations (legal HQ and operative offices or warehouses, etc). A few times it reports the date of establishment or when a company started providing a specific service/activity. It is only in Italian but has a very easy interface. The basic searching service is free, but it is possible to buy reports and specific information about a company. Same old story as for any other national registry</A>
<DT><A HREF="https://infoimprese.it/">Info Imprese - A second database of Italian companies that basically reflects registroimprese.it. Offers the same service of registroimprese.it, but it often reports more details about a company’s activity and purpose, which can help a lot in the investigation. It is perfect to validate the results you may have previously found on registroimprese.it</A>
<DT><A HREF="https://icribis.com/">Icribis.com - Great portal. Offers further information such as VAT n., Chamber of Commerce registration number, revenue range, estimate of personnel employed. Usually well kept and updated. Only “obstacle”: you have to create a socket puppet with a social security number. The basic searching service is free, but it is possible to buy reports and specific information about a company</A>

<DT><A HREF="https://reportaziende.it/">Reportaziende.it - Offers detailed information about Italian companies with revenues over 5 million euro. It details revenue, net income or liabilities. The basic searching service is free, but it is possible to buy reports and specific information about a company</A>
