Professional practice and organizational structures
Panunzi, Piero and Guido Moschella
The profession of surveyor, in Italy, is practised by the recognition of qualifications that the legislative sources of first and second level require and its practice out of limits of competence is a professional crime. The legal system directs the discipline towards the protection of clients and of third party who come in contact with professional men. From this point of view, some infrastructures with representative powers are established to which a juridical nature of public administration is assigned. The category of surveyors, through its top management body (Consiglio Nazionale Geometri), is under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice where it has its registered office. A lot of rules discipline the action and the role of the Consiglio Nazionale and of its offices, whom the local professional bodies are compared to. As regards the practice of the profession, of which the surveyor is responsible, he has to refer to independent public bodies, as the public local administrations, land agencies, etc. In conclusion, the professional man, as private subject, practises his profession in a field having a public nature and his personal right - provided also for the article 41st of the Constitution in which there is the assertion of freedom of the economic initiative - is strongly conditioned by the necessary comparison-valuation of a different and complex series of public concurrent interests.
