Italy is expanding its network of ‘proximity offices’ (Uffici di prossimità) to increase judicial accessibility for citizens. This national initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Justice, aims to provide assistance with voluntary jurisdiction procedures and administrative documentation without requiring legal counsel or travel to central courthouses.

In Tuscany, the network has reached 31 locations, including a recent opening in Scandicci. Regional data shows approximately 30,000 registered users and over 36,000 processed digital files. 

In Sicily, the Agrigento Court is implementing three new offices in Campobello di Licata, Racalmuto, and Raffadali. This expansion is intended to support vulnerable populations and improve access to legal resources in mountainous and isolated areas.
