Divisions The Italian Union of Seventh-Day Adventist Christian Churches (Italian: Unione Italiana delle Chiese Cristiane Avventiste del Settimo Giorno, UICCA), part of the worldwide fellowship of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is a Protestant denomination in Italy.
[1][2] The Union's full members, as of 30 June 2020, are 9,359, worshiping in 107 local churches.
[3] In 1986 Italian Seventh-day Adventists first signed an agreement with the Italian government, in accordance with article 8 of the Italian Constitution, which regulates the relations between the Republic and religious minorities.
The latter of these agreements was approved by Parliament and made law in 2009.
[4][5] Through the Voce della Speranza (VDS) organization, the UICCA has created the "Hope Media Italia" Adventist media center, which has both radio (RVS) and TV (HCI) branches.
