OPENCIVTECHWho is behind this.
A citizen of Atri. No party, no Municipal office.
Who I am
OpenCivTech Atri is run by one person: Vittorio D'Alberto, a free citizen of Atri, a free thinker who reads the Albo Pretorio (the Municipality's public notice board) and decided to use today's technology to be better informed. I built the tool for myself and I make it available to everyone.
Who we are not
We are not the Municipality of Atri's website, not a political party and not an election committee. No public body has commissioned us or pays us.
Who funds it
The project is funded by citizens through an open, public fundraiser on GoFundMe. Every contribution and amount is visible there to anyone: go to the fundraiser.
How we work
- Sources: the Municipality of Atri's Albo Pretorio, public data on contract awards (Law 190) and documents obtained through civic access requests. Every record links to the original document.
- Plain language: bureaucratic texts are rewritten in plain Italian and translated into English with the help of an artificial-intelligence model. Each record is read by a person before it is published.
- Data and tools: data is stored with Supabase and the site is hosted by Cloudflare.
Our limits
A summary or a translation may contain mistakes: the Municipality's original document always prevails. We are not a law firm and the records are not advice. A dossier lines up public records: it accuses no one and does not replace checks by those entitled to make them.
