# Italy

Company data from the Italy business register, through the Topograph API.

## Overview

Topograph reads Registro Imprese / InfoCamere (Italian Business Register), Third-party aggregator (Registro Imprese data) and Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Revenue Agency) and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons, shareholders, subsidiaries and establishments of Italy companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |  |
| Legal representatives | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |
| Other key persons | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |
| Shareholders | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |
| Subsidiaries | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |
| Establishments | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | Yes |
| Financials | Yes |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Visura ordinaria
- Statuto
- Ultimo bilancio

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 3 s in prefill mode and 5 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
