The ISTAT filing and Ross 1000: your Region's portal, explained.

No. Alloggiati Web is the report of each guest's identity to the Polizia di Stato (art. 109 TULPS). The ISTAT filing is the statistics of guest movements: arrivals and overnight stays, sent to your Region, which forwards them to ISTAT. Two systems, two logins, two submissions. Doing one does not excuse the other.

Ross 1000 is the tourism-flow collection software made by GIES, a software house based in San Marino, and adopted by thirteen Regions and territories. Each Region publishes it at its own address, many under their own brand: ISTRICE in Marche, SIRED in Sardegna, SIST in Basilicata, SIRDAT in Calabria, SITRA in Abruzzo, Piemonte Dati Turismo in Piemonte, Flussi Turistici in Lombardia and Rilevazione Flussi Turistici in Veneto; Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Molise and, in Tuscany, the metropolitan city of Florence with the provinces of Pistoia and Prato simply call it Ross 1000; Liguria uses it only for tourist apartments (appartamenti ammobiliati ad uso turistico, AAUT), while its hotels and other accommodation report through RIMOVCLI. Many portals still show the software's former name, Turismo 5, in their page title or address: it is the same software, renamed. The record layout and the web service are the same everywhere.

It depends on your Region. ISTAT's survey covers private lets too, as other private accommodation (its category C.2), and which ones report, and how, follows each Region's rules. In Lombardia the obligation is explicit (L.R. 27/2015, art. 38 para. 8) and the penalty in art. 40 para. 9 also reaches owners of homes let for tourism; Piemonte, Veneto, Liguria and Lazio include holiday lets in the survey too. Check your own Region's rule.

The ISTAT survey is monthly, but the operational deadline is set by each Region and varies a lot. The Regions' official pages set these deadlines. Emilia-Romagna: by the 5th of the following month; Liguria (tourist apartments, AAUT): by the 7th of the following month; Lombardia: by the 5th of the following month; Marche: by the 5th of the following month; Sardegna: within 24 hours; Veneto: within the first 10 working days of the following month (to be safe, count Saturdays too). In Emilia-Romagna daily entry is recommended, and in Liguria landlords of tourist apartments must complete the Ross 1000 check-in every day. For the other Regions in the table, check your Region's manual or regulation.

Yes. An open property that had no guests in a month must still report it, as zero movement (in Ross 1000, with the «Rimanenti mov. 0» button); a closed property reports the closure. Emilia-Romagna and Marche, among others, say so in their official instructions. A month that is not transmitted does not count as zero: it shows up as a missing month, which is a failure to report like any other.

The survey is in the National Statistical Programme with a duty to respond (code IST-00139). The national penalty for not responding is administrative: EUR 206 to 2,065 for individuals and EUR 516 to 5,164 for companies and other entities (D.Lgs. 322/1989, art. 11, in the amounts ISTAT publishes). Several Regions add their own penalty for each period left unfiled: Lombardia, for example, EUR 250 to 2,500 for every month omitted (L.R. 27/2015, art. 40 para. 9). Check the amounts in the cited sources.

Not yet. Vidimo already collects the check-in data the figures are built from: dates, guests and residence. The Ross 1000 connector is in preparation: it will compile arrivals and presences, empty months included, transmit them to your Region's portal with your credentials and keep the receipt. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when your Region is live. Until then you transmit the figures yourself.

It means your Region uses a system other than Ross 1000, or that we have not yet verified which one. The obligation is unchanged: ask your Region's statistics or tourism office which portal it is and how to get access. We will add further Regions as we verify their systems.

We process your data and your guests' data under the GDPR. Vidimo's database and file storage are in the European Union. Some providers process data outside the EU, mainly for messaging, payments, push notifications and AI features; our subprocessor list names each one and where it processes data. Vidimo is your processor and keeps data only as long as the purpose and the law require. When the Ross 1000 connector is live, it will send the Region one record per guest without first name or surname, with fields such as sex, date of birth, nationality, residence and the purpose of the stay.
