IRPET description
IRPET was founded in 1968 as the technical and scientific branch of the Regional Committee for Economic Planning of Tuscany (Comitato regionale per la programmazione economica della Toscana – CRPET) with responsibility for carrying out preliminary studies for the institution of the regional administration.
