Key facts

• Project → Como Razionalista
• Period → 2026-2028
• Municipality → Como
• Resources → tourist tax revenues
• Commitment → over 78,000 euros

For the 2026-2028 three-year period, the Municipality of Como has concluded the public selection for the Como Razionalista project and has allocated funds for initiatives dedicated to the promotion of Larian Rationalism. The decision concerns the enhancement of the architectural and cultural heritage of the Municipality.

Funding coverage is planned for the 2026-2028 three-year period and will be ensured by tourist tax revenues. The total financial commitment indicated for the three-year period exceeds 78,000 euros and involves two associations, selected through a public procedure.

The evaluation commission examined the proposals received and approved the final ranking. The result was built on the quality of the projects and the score assigned to each proposal. In the ranking, MADE IN MAARC ETS obtained 71/100, while WONDERLAKE ETS reached 65/100.

The assignment concerns two distinct initiatives included in the same three-year program. The first is 'L'eredità del moderno', presented by the MADE IN MAARC ETS Association. The second is 'Città Razionalista', proposed by the WONDERLAKE ETS Association.

The Municipality thus links tourist tax revenues to a program dedicated to architectural and cultural heritage. The choice covers the years 2026, 2027 and 2028 and establishes the distribution of contributions according to the provisions of the approved ranking.

Operational details

The ranking

The two allocations

The details of the ranking compare the two funded projects. MADE IN MAARC ETS submitted «The legacy of modernity» and received 71/100. The total contribution awarded to the association is 35.158,50 euro, with a different breakdown across the three years: 5.158,50 euro in 2026, 15.000 euro in 2027 and 15.000 euro in 2028.

WONDERLAKE ETS submitted «Rationalist City» and received 65/100. For this proposal, the total contribution awarded is 43.014,60 euro. The sum is distributed in three equal installments: 14.338,20 euro in 2026, 14.338,20 euro in 2027 and 14.338,20 euro in 2028.

The ranking therefore lists two contributions with different total amounts and two different annual schedules. In the case of MADE IN MAARC ETS, the 2026 share is listed separately from the two subsequent shares. In the case of WONDERLAKE ETS, however, the source provides for the same amount for each of the three annual periods.

The comparison concerns exclusively the ranking for the Como Razionalista project: both contributions are distributed over three years and were awarded following the public selection. The figures shown identify both the total for each association and the amount allocated for each year, keeping the two projects and their respective scores distinct.

The scores remain linked to the evaluation of the proposals: the committee examined the projects based on their quality and approved the final ranking with the results indicated.

Key points

Disbursement of funds

The submission of reports

The conclusion of the selection process does not coincide with the immediate payment of the entire support awarded. The source specifies that the actual disbursement of the funds will take place gradually, after the associations submit reports on the activities carried out.

The condition indicated by the Municipality concerns both associations and covers the 2026-2028 funding period. For MADE IN MAARC ETS, the financial schedule includes 5.158,50 euro in 2026, 15.000 euro in 2027 and 15.000 euro in 2028. For WONDERLAKE ETS, the expected contribution is divided into three installments of 14.338,20 euro, one for 2026, one for 2027 and one for 2028.

The schedule of installments and the submission of reports are therefore the two elements indicated for tracking the disbursement of the contributions. The associations will have to submit documentation of the activities carried out before the actual disbursement, while the Municipality has already defined the total amounts and their distribution by year.

The support remains linked to the revenue generated by the tourist tax and to the promotion of Lariano Rationalism. The phase described in the communication unfolds over the three years of the project: the funds are allocated in the ranking, assigned to the individual years and will be disbursed gradually following the submission of reports.

With this step, the public selection process is concluded and the method by which the contributions will be disbursed during the 2026-2028 period is defined, according to the approved allocation.
