This work is related to “smart cities” technologies and in particular to I-Scope project. I-SCOPE is an EU project, coordinated by “Fondazione Graphitech” and funded by the CIP/ICT PSP program of the European Commission. The project is being experimented for three years (from 2012 to 2015). It is an open platform which develops three 'smart city' services. The services address:

• • Improved inclusion and personal mobility of aging and diversely able citizens through an accurate city-level disable-friendly personal routing service.

  • Optimization of energy consumption through a service for accurate assessment of solar energy potential at building level.

  • Environmental monitoring through a real-time environmental noise mapping service leveraging citizen's involvement will who act as distributed sensors city-wide measuring noise levels through their mobile phones.

The project has about 22 partners in EU cities which ones include universities, firms and local administrations. Our report focuses on Cles, a little municipality in Val di Non, and Trento, that have also joined the project.

The aim of our paper is to relate the progress and the confrontation with the territory of I-Scope project. We have analyzed the advantages and the limits of the project and of “smart systems” in general, thanks to the interaction with different subjects belonging to different authorities that have realized and worked on the projects in the municipalities. We have tried to promote the initiative getting through to authorities that are mainly interested to the services of I-Scope, building up synergies with the project creators. In the end, we have related our experience and our conclusion to this work.
