Unione Italiana delle Camere di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura (Unioncamere)

The national umbrella of Italy's chambers of commerce, industry, crafts and agriculture, founded in 1901; a public body based in Rome. It organises services for the chambers and business sectors, coordinates the chamber system through guidelines and signs agreements with state bodies. At EU level it represents the Italian chambers in Eurochambres. It is not aimed directly at farmers: registration and the diritto annuale are handled by the provincial chamber.

No direct farmer membership; its members are the chambers. Farmers deal with their own provincial chamber (Registro delle imprese, diritto annuale).

Unioncamere charges farmers nothing; the chamber fee (diritto annuale) is paid to the provincial chamber.
