If you are renting out an apartment in the historic center of Palermo, it is essential to be familiar with the local regulations regarding the display of the Regional Identification Code (CIN). The Tourism Department, following the guidelines of the Superintendence, has established specific rules for the plaques to be used in the city’s historic core. However, outside the historic center, the regulations are less strict, offering more freedom in the choice of materials.

The regulations on signage for the historic centers of Palermo

In the historic center of Palermo, the regulations require the use of plaques made from specific materials that blend harmoniously with the architectural and artistic context.

Here are the required specifications

Material: satin-finished brushed brass
Dimensions: 20×10 cm
Customization: black engraving with the name of the property and the CIN Code

These parameters are mandatory to comply with the aesthetic guidelines of the historic center and preserve its decor.

Outside the historic center, however, the Tourism Department does not specify any particular material to be used. This allows property owners to choose more versatile solutions, such as plaques made of:

Acrylic: lightweight, modern, and available in various finishes.
Plexiglass: elegant and resistant to weather conditions.
Aluminum: sturdy and suitable for a more contemporary setting.

This flexibility provides the opportunity to select the material that best suits both aesthetic and functional needs.

How we make brass plaques for the historic center

In our workshop, each plaque is crafted with the utmost care to meet the required regulations.

Preparation of the Brass
We use satin-finished brushed brass, custom-cut to size (20×10 cm) and treated to achieve an elegant, uniform satin finish. As the level of brushing has not been explicitly specified, we are able to manage different shades of brushed brass to ensure the engraved text remains clear and legible.
Customized Engraving
Using high-precision machinery, we engrave the name of the property and the CIN Code, which are then coated with black enamel to ensure perfect legibility and long-lasting durability.
Quality Painting and Finishing
Each plaque is carefully treated with anti-oxidants and thoroughly inspected to ensure a flawless result.
