Each Italian municipality is classified with a precise static reference becoming from the fiscal references relased by the italian autorities.
For example:
Municipality of Nizza Monferrato (AT) is F902, so the SES will operate as 1AT/F902
Municipality of Lentini (SR) is E532, so the SES will operate as 1AT/E532
Municipality of Santa Giusta (OR) is I205, so the SES will operate as 165AT/I205
And so on...
