Names of Persons - Italy (2025)

According to the International Cataloguing Principles (ICP) the Form of Name for Persons as an authorized access point should be constructed following a standard: “When the name of a person consists of several words, the choice of first word for the authorized access point should follow conventions of the country and language most associated with that person, as found in manifestations or reference sources”. Thus, this document summarizes the conventions for Italy, established by each national cataloguing agency, to help other cataloguing agencies creating authority data worldwide.
