About this plate
TARGA PROVA, Italy's trade plate, and like the German rote Kennzeichen it binds to a BUSINESS rather than a vehicle: art. 2 c. 1 lett. b) of DPR 495/1992 all read "ABROGATO/SOPPRESSA DAL D.P.R. 24 NOVEMBRE 2001, N. 474") and created this format, and Normattiva records the resulting text as in force from 14 February 2002. One good operational detail for a claims model: art. 2 c. 2-bis requires the ordinary registration plate to stay on and stay legible while the prova plate is fitted, an Italian vehicle can lawfully display two plates at once.
How long it is valid
max months: 12. note: the autorizzazione 'ha validità annuale e non è rinnovabile decorsi sei mesi dalla sua scadenza'
