What is this?
DoveVannoINostriSoldi is a civic open-source project that collects and analyzes Italian public spending data from official sources, using AI to highlight where public resources could be used more efficiently. It also includes a budget law (Legge di Bilancio) reallocation simulator based on OpenBDAP commitment-basis appropriations.
