dellEdilizia

Delledilizia is not a standard entry in Italian or English encyclopedias. It appears to be a concatenation or misspelling of dell’edilizia, meaning “of construction.” As such, this article provides a concise overview of the Italian construction sector, which the term could refer to in context.

The edilizia sector encompasses the design, construction, restoration, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure in Italy. It covers residential, commercial, public works, and utilities, and combines small artisanal firms with large construction groups. Demand is shaped by urban development, public investment, private incentives, and renovation programs. The sector employs a broad range of professionals, from designers and engineers to craftsmen and project managers, often through subcontracting networks.

Regulation is a key feature. The sector operates under planning laws and building regulations, including the Testo Unico dell’Edilizia (DPR 380/2001), which consolidates rules on permits, approvals, and construction standards. Project execution typically requires authorization such as a building permit or alternative procedures like SCIA or CILAs. Health and safety are governed by Legislative Decree 81/2008, and energy efficiency and seismic standards are integrated into technical codes and standards (NTC) and related regulations. Compliance with quality and environmental standards is increasingly supported by certifications and digital tools such as BIM.

Economic and social aspects include its important role in GDP and employment, susceptibility to macroeconomic cycles and public investment, and ongoing shifts toward sustainable construction, retrofit of existing stock, and improved productivity.
