1- The Association is administered by a Council made up, according to the wishes of the General Assembly, of a minimum of 3 (three) to a maximum of 25 (twenty-five) members, including the President, the Vice President and the Secretary/Treasurer.

The Council remains in office for an unlimited period, except for resignation.

If the Council looses a member, it must proceed to substitution, by means of cooption, according to art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Council has the widest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Association, since everything that is not strictly reserved by this Statute to the General Assembly and the President comes under its responsibility.

The Council guides the activity of the Association to pursue the aims stated above.

Besides this, the Council

- prepares the final balance to be submitted to the General Assembly of the Members of the Association;

- decides when to call meetings of the General Assembly;

- makes decisions about the applications for admission to the Association.

2 - The Council elects the President, the Vice President and the Secretary/Treasurer from among its members; it can delegate, specifying it in the resolution, some of its functions to one of the Councillors or to an Executive Committee.

3 - The President calls meetings of the Council whenever there is an issue to be decided, or when at least two Councillors have made a request.

Meetings are called by means of a letter to be sent not less that 15 days before the sitting and, in urgent cases, by means of a telegram or telefax, so that the Councillors are informed at least a week before the meeting.

The meetings are valid when the majority of the Councillors in office, less those absent for justifiable reasons, take part.

The decisions are taken by a majority vote. In the case of an equal number of votes, the President has the deciding vote.

4 - The nomination of a Councillor does not entail any remuneration, except for reimbursement of the expenses recorded, sustained in carrying out duties in the function.
