Overview

• The report by urban-law expert Alberto Roccella says Milan breached article 146 of the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code by combining tutela paesaggistica with urbanistica and edilizia functions.
• Roccella writes that a 2014 building regulation made the Commissione per il Paesaggio operate in composizione unica, effectively reviving commissione edilizia functions within the landscape body.
• He notes regulatory changes in 2024 that removed a prior ban on commission members taking design work in the city and flags an omission of those powers in a municipal notice about the commission’s renewal.
• The filing suggests Regione Lombardia failed to detect the violation as prosecutors pursue wider urban-planning probes that saw the landscape commission dissolved in April.
• Precautionary orders against members Giuseppe Marinoni and Alessandro Scandurra were annulled by the Riesame, Giovanni Oggioni remains under house arrest in a separate case, and Roccella urges assigning building matters to a distinct Commissione Edilizia.
