Italian Digital public administration code (CAD - Codice amministrazione digitale, art. 68 and 69) requires software created with public money to be open sourced and made accessible for reuse by everyone. https://developers.italia.it/en/reuse

Formerly it was accessible only to other public administrations. That provision didn't generate any meaningful outcomes as it was not avalable to other developers, just to public administrations in-house developers. With the last reform of the CAD in 2016, it was open to everyone and development of digital public services accelerated.
