Following a bilateral agreement between Italy and Switzerland regarding the taxation of cross-border workers, Italian Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti signed a decree to establish state contributions for border municipalities. This measure utilizes the Fund for the Economic Development of Border Territories to provide approximately 90 million euros annually to municipalities within 20 kilometers of the Swiss borders of the Cantons of Ticino, Graubünden, and Valais. This replaces the 1974 “ristorni” system with a modern state-funded structure. Subsequently, the Italian government increased the allocated fund from 89 million to 108 million euros. This increase is intended to support infrastructure and services in territories managing cross-border movement. The expanded funding will also incorporate resources from extra revenue generated by new cross-border workers to strengthen the economic conditions of these regions. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Lombardy approves new forest management and obesity healthcare laws Lombardy has passed two major laws: one for the sustainable management of forests to prevent wildfires and land instability, and another recognizing obesity as a chronic disease with dedicated healthcare. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-increases-border-municipality-fund-to-108-million-euros ### 2026-09-17: Italy signs decree for border municipality funds Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti signed a decree providing state funds to Italian municipalities within 20km of the Swiss border, replacing the old compensation system with a new economic development fund. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-signs-decree-for-border-municipality-funds --- Cite as: Italy-Switzerland cross-border fiscal implementation.
