For stays over 90 days, Italian law technically requires EU citizens to register at the local Anagrafe (registry office) and get an Attestazione di Iscrizione. The fee is EUR 16 (marca da bollo). Bring your passport or ID, proof of income or employment, health insurance, and proof of accommodation. Enforcement is inconsistent, but registration is needed for residency services.
