The application is registred in the LR Journal (Giornale Tavolare) with a progressive number (G.N.) and date and time are indicated on the application.

A temporary entry is at the same time entered in the books (piombo provvisorio). Only after the comparison of the LR legal status, the entry becomes definitive ( piombo definitivo) and this has to be done within 24 hours.
