History

It was founded in 1919 under the Liberal-Radical government of Francesco Saverio Nitti.^[1] Following the transformation ordered by the 2005 regulation, the ENIT-Italian National Tourism Agency took over, with increased and more articulated institutional responsibilities, an almost one-hundred-year activity of the Italian National Tourist Board.^[2] In 2014 ENIT was transformed into a public economic body.^[3]

ENIT is responsible for the promoting tourism in Italy.
