agree  alice_girotto: a brief definition of "parlamentino" is: organismo amministrativo locale

  -> thanks, Alice
agree  LaraBarnett: IN UK English we would say "Authority" rather than "council" though and it would not be capitalised unless it was a specific one.///I meant a specific English one, but maybe that would work too.
7 hrs
  -> Thanks. In the US it's "authority" too; and here it IS a specific one (of Vercelli).
