Italian national legislation — search, resolve an exact URN:NIR citation, and read one article’s original-language text as of any date (multivigenza), with publication (Gazzetta Ufficiale) dates kept separate from emanation and in-force dates.

Tools

• it_normattiva_search(query?, title?, act_type?, in_force_on?, emanation_date_from?, emanation_date_to?, publication_date_from?, publication_date_to?, limit?, offset?) — search Italian national acts by full-text words, title words, official act type (e.g. "LEGGE", "DECRETO LEGISLATIVO", "DECRETO-LEGGE", "COSTITUZIONE", "REGOLAMENTO") and/or date range. Every result carries a constructed urn field (act type, date and number — e.g. urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196) that chains straight into the two tools below. Free-text query matching is OR-across-words over the whole corpus, not an exact phrase — narrow with title/act_type/dates for tight results.
• it_normattiva_get_act(urn, as_of?, original?) — resolve an exact citation (URN:NIR, e.g. "urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196", the Privacy Code) to its title, act type, emanation date, Gazzetta Ufficiale publication date and the opening text (preamble through the start of Article 1). as_of (YYYY-MM-DD) resolves the version in force on that date (multivigenza); original: true returns the text as originally enacted.
• it_normattiva_get_article(urn, article, annex?, as_of?, original?) — the original-language text of one article (e.g. article: "1", "12-bis") of an act, as of a given date. urn is the bare act citation (no article suffix); annex selects an article inside an allegato instead of the main body. Publication, emanation and in-force-from/until dates all come back as separate fields, never folded together.

Both get_act and get_article return found: false with a message (and, if the citation is genuinely ambiguous — most commonly the same act republished across more than one Gazzetta Ufficiale supplement — a candidates list) rather than an error, when nothing or more than one thing resolves.

Data sources

• Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), Normattiva Open Data — Italy’s official consolidated-law database (laws, decree-laws, legislative decrees, the Constitution, regulations and other national acts), published for the Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. Every act is addressable article by article via its URN:NIR citation and carries its full multivigenza history — the text as amended, plus every historical version with its own in-force window.

Notes

• Multivigenza, concretely: the upstream resolves a version by appending a selector to the citation (!vig=<date> for “in force on this date”, @originale for “as enacted”) — this pack exposes those as as_of / original rather than asking a caller to hand-build the suffix.
• Article 1’s text usually includes the full preamble. Italian decrees and laws place the enacting formula and every “VISTO …/VISTA …” recital before “Art. 1” in the same structural block the upstream returns, so it_normattiva_get_article with article: "1" (and it_normattiva_get_act with no article) can return a long block of preamble text ahead of the article itself — that is the source’s own structure, not truncation or duplication on this pack’s part.
• act_type and the urn act-type segment are related but not spelled the same. The URN segment joins the official label’s words with dots and turns a hyphen into a dot too ("DECRETO LEGISLATIVO" -> "decreto.legislativo", "DECRETO-LEGGE" -> "decreto.legge"). Build URNs from it_normattiva_search results rather than by hand where possible.
• Keyless, live proxy. One upstream request per tool call. Nothing from Normattiva is baked into the pack or mirrored (the gateway bundle is near its ceiling — see docs/international-legal-scope.md).
