- The Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (National Social Security Institute), established in 1933, is the large Italian public body that pays out old-age pensions to workers, after receiving contributions from them throughout their working lives, and manages the types of assistance provided for by the “social state”, such as the Cassa integrazione (redundancy payments), sickness, maternity and unemployment benefits, invalidity payments and social payments for citizens who are in need.
