Italian Schools Directory – Contacts, PEC & MIUR Open Data

Every Italian school in one clean table: 61,000+ state schools (statali) and recognised private schools (paritarie), each with email, PEC (certified email), website, address and official school code (codice meccanografico).

The data comes straight from the official open data of the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit (MIM, formerly MIUR), current school year 2026/27. There's no scraping, no proxies and no blocking: the Actor downloads the latest official datasets on each run, filters them your way and returns a ready-to-use list for Excel, CSV, JSON or the API.

What does the Italian Schools Directory do?

• Downloads the latest Ministry registers of state and paritarie schools, picking the newest file on each run.
• Filters by school type, region, province, city, level and name.
• Normalises emails, websites and levels, and adds a simple stage field (infanzia, primaria, secondaria I/II grado…).
• Fills in the standard institute PEC for state schools, which the Ministry CSV leaves out, and flags it with pecIsDerived: true.
• Can return one row per institute (the sede di direttivo, i.e. the principal's office) instead of every branch.

Who is it for?

• EdTech and software companies selling to schools.
• School textbook publishers and educational content creators.
• School trip, sports and summer camp organisers.
• Suppliers of furniture, IT, cleaning, canteens and safety equipment.
• Training providers, associations and unions reaching principals and teachers.
• Researchers, journalists and public bodies who need counts by level, city or region.
• CRM / data teams matching the official school code to their records.

FAQ

How many schools are included? About 61,600 in the 2026/27 files: roughly 50,300 state school sites and 11,300 paritarie.

How fresh is the data? Each run downloads the newest file the Ministry has published, so the data is as current as the official source.

Why are some PEC addresses marked pecIsDerived: true? The Ministry CSV doesn't publish PEC for state schools. The Actor fills in the standard institute PEC <institutecode>@pec.istruzione.it and flags it.

Can I get one contact per institute instead of every branch? Yes: set onlyMainSites: true. This applies to state schools, where each institute has one headquarters (sede di direttivo).

Are teachers' or principals' personal emails included? No. These are institutional school addresses published by the Ministry. Paritarie may list addresses that belong to individuals: treat those as personal data.

Can I use the data commercially? The datasets are released under IODL 2.0, which allows commercial reuse with attribution (see Source & licence). If you send communications, the GDPR and anti-spam rules apply (see Legal note).

Is it a scraper? Will it get blocked? No. It reads official open-data files, with no proxies and no login.

Limits

• Schools in the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano and in Valle d'Aosta are not in the Ministry datasets, because they are managed locally.
• No phone numbers, principal names or student counts: the Ministry registry doesn't include them.
• Some schools publish no website or email; those fields are null. Use onlyWithEmail: true to skip them.
• Data quality (typos, outdated websites) reflects the official source.

More official open data Actors

• Italian Hotels & Agriturismi Directory – Puglia & Veneto: 7,400+ licensed hotels, agriturismi, campsites and resorts in Puglia and Veneto with phone, email, website, stars and national CIN code, from the official open data of the two Regions (CC BY 4.0). Useful together with this Actor for school trips, hospitality schools (istituti alberghieri) and education tourism.
