New liquidator at the Municipality of Canterano: Delli Colli replaces Ateniese in the financial recovery process

Dr. Niccolò Delli Colli is the new extraordinary liquidation body of the Municipality of Canterano, in the province of Rome. He was appointed by a decree of the President of the Republic dated June 8, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic, General Series no. 231 of October 5, 2026, with reference 26A05150. The appointment replaces Dr. Giovanni Ateniese, who resigned from the position.

The measure was disseminated by the Ministry of the Interior in the “Extracts, summaries and communications” section of the Gazette. The extraordinary liquidation body is the entity entrusted with the management of the financial distress of a local authority: it administers the management and previous indebtedness and adopts all necessary measures for the extinction of the municipality’s debts. In the case of Canterano, the appointment decree is dated June 8, 2026, and its official publication occurred nearly four months later, on October 5, 2026.

The succession to the leadership of the extraordinary body

The published text reconstructs the administrative events of the entity in two steps. The first concerns the previous appointment, the second the replacement decided after the resignation of the liquidator in office.

• New extraordinary liquidation body: Dr. Niccolò Delli Colli
• Entity concerned: Municipality of Canterano (RM)
• Appointment act: decree of the President of the Republic of June 8, 2026
• Publication: Official Gazette, General Series no. 231 of October 5, 2026, ref. 26A05150
• Assigned task: administration of the management and previous indebtedness and adoption of all measures for the extinction of the entity’s debts

The previous appointment and the resignation

By decree of the President of the Republic dated June 5, 2025, Dr. Giovanni Ateniese had been appointed as the extraordinary liquidation body of the Municipality of Canterano (RM), with the same mandate: to administer the management and previous indebtedness and adopt all measures for the extinction of the entity’s debts.

The decree of June 8, 2026, justifies the replacement based on the resignation submitted by Dr. Giovanni Ateniese himself. The published text does not indicate the reasons for the resignation, does not specify the expected duration of the new appointment, and does not report accounting data on the municipality’s deficit.

Other appointments published in the same Gazette

In the same part of the Gazette, the Ministry of the Interior publishes a second measure of identical tenor, relating to another local authority in financial distress.

• Municipality of Borgetto (PA): appointment of the extraordinary liquidation commission by decree of the President of the Republic on September 4, 2026, ref. 26A05151
• Appointed members: Dr. Pietro Barbera, Dr. Pietroantonio Bevilacqua, and Dr. Ezio Mineo
• Prerequisite: recourse to financial recovery procedures by resolution no. 17 of April 1, 2026, pursuant to Article 246 of Legislative Decree no. 267 of August 18, 2000

Also on the same page appears the calendar of holidays for the Holy Orthodox Archdiocese of Italy and Exarchate for Southern Europe for 2027, with reference 26A05152.

What changes for the territory

For the citizens of Canterano and for the entity’s creditors, the replacement of the liquidator does not change the objective of the extraordinary body, but changes the subject called upon to sign the management acts of the financial distress. Publication in the Gazette makes the act opposable and verifiable by anyone who has economic relations with the municipality, from suppliers to employees to holders of credits claimed against the administration.

The appointment comes just over a year after the previous decree and confirms that the liquidation phase of the Municipality of Canterano is still open. Those following the matter can now trace the official act through reference 26A05150 of the Official Gazette, General Series no. 231 of October 5, 2026.
