This paper considers the descriptive capacity of Italian census data on spatial mobility. A systematic comparison is carried out between the Italian census and traditional sources--particularly the population register. The discussion concerns the items collected and published as well as the measurements obtained, their meaning, and their comparability. Many examples are presented, especially on migration flows during the 1976-1981 period, as recorded by the 1981 Italian population census, applied to the whole country as well as the regions, with particular reference to the Veneto region.
