Mandamento (administrative district)
Historically a mandamento was an administrative district part of Italian territory under the jurisdiction of a "praetor", an intermediate between the district and the municipality.
It was introduced in the Kingdom of Sardinia with the edict of Vittorio Emanuele I on 7 October 1814, then revised with the Rattazzi law, introduced in the Kingdom of Italy with the law March 20, 1865, n. 2248, and remained in force until 1923, and judicially until 2 January 2000.
