The National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservationists, (CNAPPC) is a body appointed by the Ministry of Justice with the Law n. 1395/23; it took its current name, which substituted the original one of National Council of Architects, after the coming into force of the D.P.R. 328/01 that adds to the traditional figure of architect other professional qualifications from both five-years and three-years (junior) graduate courses.
The Council consists of 15 members, elected by the provincial Orders, for a five-year term. The present Council has been in office since March 2011. The CNAPPC carries out its activity for the in-depth analysis of professional themes through the work of its own departments.
