In Italy there are currently two systems of real estate advertising: on the one hand, the transcription in the old provinces, based on the French law of 23 March 1855; on the other hand, the Tavolare system or land register, in force in the new provinces of Trento, Bolzano, Trieste, Gorizia and in some municipalities in the provinces of Udine, Brescia, Belluno and Vicenza.

The Tavolare system of real estate advertising is unique, but important, an institution derived from the Austro-Hungarian legislation which remained in force in the aforementioned provinces.
