PROVA is simply Italian for "test". The plate belongs to the trade, not the vehicle — "trasferibile da veicolo a veicolo", says the instrument — moving from car to car as each goes out on trial.

## About its years

The current SPECIFICATION dates from Decreto Delegato 23 luglio 2007 n. 87, which replaces art. 3 of Legge 19 settembre 1973 n. 31. The test- plate REGIME is much older, Legge 31/1973, published 24 September 1973, so 2007 dates this plate's design, not the institution. The 1973 statute was located but its plate article was read only through the 2007 replacement, so no earlier series is asserted.

## Format notes

three digits for cars, two for motorcycles (art. 1)
