Fabbricati

Fabbricati is the plural form of fabbricato, referring to fixed constructions that are permanently attached to the land. In everyday Italian, the term covers buildings such as houses, offices, shops, factories, warehouses, and other structures that are built on a site and intended to be used over time.

In civil law and public registries, fabbricati are distinguished from farmland or other undeveloped land. In the land registry (catasto) and for taxation, fabbricati typically denote buildings used for human activities, with rural buildings used for agriculture recorded separately as fabbricati rurali or under different cadastral classifications. The cadastre assigns a cadastral category to each fabbricato to indicate its type, value, and taxable status, influencing property taxes and related duties.

Construction, ownership, and use of fabbricati are subject to planning permissions, building codes, and zoning rules. Structural safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility standards apply, and changes to use or ownership must be formally recorded.

Common examples include residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings. The term is widely used in real estate, urban planning, and taxation contexts in Italy.
