In July 2014 the Associazione «Chiesa d’Inghilterra», a not-for-profit religious entity that represents the Church of England in Italy, achieved recognition in the italian legal system by a Presidential decree (art. 2, legge 1159/1929). Five years later, in July 2019, the same Associazione signed the intesa with the Italian Republic, according to article 8(3) of the Constitution. Parliamentary approval, which has not yet occurred, will be the final step in the process and will allow the Church of England in Italy enjoy a number of legal and economic benefits, starting from a share of the «otto per mille» funds. The essay presents and discusses the Associazione’s statutes and with an overview of the intesa rules. The statute and the intesa are placed in the context of the historical development of the Church of England’s organisation in Italy, which played – as a specific aspect of the British presence – a relevant role in the country’s cultural life starting from the beginnings of 19th Century.
