title: Italian telematics initiatives and achievements.
abstract: Depending on their legislation, the European countries have different telematics initiatives and different scenarios. Cultural roots cause differences even within a country or a region, and different organisational structures can cause further problems. With regard to the Italian telematics approach, the author intends to explain the basis and the main achievements in Italy and especially in the Lombaria region.
