Environmental Risk and Public Procurement in Italy: ANAC and ISPRA Data

Italian public procurement records from the Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione (ANAC) are integrated with hydrogeological risk assessments from the Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale (ISPRA). Developed by Thomas Bassetti and updated in 2026, the data facilitates research into the relationship between environmental hazards and government spending across Italy.

Use Cases

• Correlating hydrogeological risk levels with the volume of public procurement contracts in specific Italian regions
• Analyzing the allocation of emergency funds versus standard procurement in areas identified by ISPRA as high-risk
• Investigating the relationship between environmental risk assessments and the transparency of public tenders using ANAC data

Strengths

• Combines official data from two distinct national authorities (ANAC and ISPRA)
• Focuses on the intersection of public administration and environmental risk management

Limitations

• Lack of explicit documentation regarding specific column names and record counts
• Geographic scope is limited strictly to Italy
