This document discusses a project to aggregate and link financial statement data from 8,100 Italian municipalities over 10 years. The project aims to make municipal financial data more understandable, useful and accessible to citizens and administrators by extracting key information and linking it to other statistical, governance and geographic data sources. It notes that the project is still in an alpha prototype stage and invites feedback to help further develop essential features and future work.
