Who we are

Our commitment for the conservation and enhancement of an Italian heritage

The Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane (A.D.S.I.) brings together the owners of historic properties throughout Italy, which are an important part of our cultural heritage.

The historic houses are cultural assets of important historic-artistic interest, which are “listed”, so protected by the state, which must encourage their owners to conserve them.

It is a vast and mixed heritage: houses, palaces, villas, castles, gardens and agricultural estates. They are spread throughout the country and about 80% of them are in rural or provincial locations. Each has a precise identity, unique in Europe, because of its history, cultural value and close links to its surrounding area.

But the serious problems related to their maintenance, which must be dealt with on a daily basis by their owners, are also unique. They are assets, though, that, if well maintained and managed, can make an important contribution to the cultural, social and economic life of their local communities.

To attain this result, the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, with its 4500 members, is constantly engaged in promoting the protection and enhancement of the historic houses, together with the European Historic Houses Association (EHH).

The commitment of the A.D.S.I. is for this reason aimed in several directions:

towards the property owner members, to whom it offers legal, administrative, fiscal and technical advice and assistance for management of the properties;
towards central and local institutions, and towards the public and private bodies with which it works to plan the most suitable interventions, also legislative, for the conservation and enhancement of the listed buildings in Italy, also on the level of tourism;
towards schools and universities, to foster knowledge among young people of the opportunities offered by the protection and promotion of these resources. Indeed, the historic houses cannot be moved and create precious job opportunities in their local areas;
towards public opinion and the media, to encourage knowledge of such an important part of our cultural heritage.

5 and 2 X1000 to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane

DONATE YOUR 5X1000 and 2X1000
to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane

Support the private historic-artistic architectural heritage

Your income tax return is a great opportunity to support the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, which has been committed to the protection, conservation and enhancement of the privately owned historic-artistic heritage for over 44 years. Choosing to allocate your 5x1000 to voluntary work and 2x1000 to cultural associations will allow us to integrate the resources available to the A.D.S.I. aimed at the pursuit of its statutory purposes.

How to allocate the 5x1000 and 2x1000 to the A.D.S.I.

On the tax return form (CU 2021, 730-2021 or PF 2021):

- In the space “SCELTA PER LA DESTINAZIONE DEL CINQUE PER MILLE DELL’IRPEF” select the “Sostegno del volontariato e delle altre organizzazioni non lucrative di utilità sociale” box; sign and enter our tax code 80230750582.

- In the space “SCELTA PER LA DESTINAZIONE DEL DUE PER MILLE DELL’IRPEF” select the “Associazione Culturale” box; sign and enter our tax code 80230750582.

Remember that you can donate both the 5X1000 and the 2X1000 to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane.

THE ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS

What is the 5X1000?

The 5×1000 is the portion of Irpef (personal income tax) that can be allocated, when making your income tax return, to non-profit and charitable organisations such as the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane. If you do not indicate any preference, these sums are retained by the State.

What is the 2X1000?

The 2×1000 is the portion of Irpef (personal income tax) that can be allocated, when making your income tax return, to cultural organisations such as the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane. The 2×1000 was reintroduced this year after a period of absence, precisely in order to support cultural organisations at such a difficult time, due to the pandemic. If you do not indicate any preference, these sums are retained by the State.

If I choose to donate the 5×1000 to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, can I also donate the 2×1000 to the same association (and vice versa)?

Yes, it is possible to donate both the 5×1000 and the 2×1000 to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane as it is included in the lists of those able to receive such contributions. These are not alternative choices and can therefore all be made. Such choices do not in any way result in more taxes being due.

If I donate the 5×1000 and/or the 2×1000, can I also donate the 8×1000?

Yes, you can. Donating the 5×1000 and the 2×1000 does not exclude the possibility of also expressing a preference for the 8×1000 (dedicated to religious denominations). These are not alternative choices and can therefore all be made. Such choices do not in any way result in more taxes being due.

Does donating the 5×1000 or 2×1000 have an additional cost for the taxpayer?

No, it does not cost anything because the 5×1000 and the 2×1000 are a part of the income tax that the State renounces in favour of non-profit organisations and cultural associations. If not declared, this sum is automatically retained by the State.

What happens if I do not indicate my tax code?

If you do not specify your tax code, the amount will not be attributed to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, but will be divided proportionally on the basis of the number of preferences received by associations in the same category.

I do not submit a tax return. Can I still allocate the 5×1000 or the 2×1000 to the Association?

Yes. Even those who are not required to submit a tax return can choose to donate 5×1000 and/or 2×1000 to the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane. Simply fill in the form with the 5×1000 and 2×1000 choice contained in the CU (Certificazione Unica) and hand it in at a post office or CAF. The form must be submitted by 30 November 2021, in a sealed envelope marked “Scelta per la destinazione dell’otto, del cinque e del due per mille dell’Irpef”, along with your name, surname and tax code. The service is free of charge.

What are the deadlines for submitting the tax return?

The deadline for submitting the 730 tax return is 30 September 2021. This deadline applies to those who submit their 730 ordinary tax return to the tax withholding agent and to those who submit their completed 730 or ordinary tax return to the CAF or an accountant. The deadline for submitting the personal income form (ex Unico) is 30 November 2021.
