I don't have context except that it is the 'durata statutaria' of a company. This comes from a spreadsheet describing input values to a business information database, and other terms include the company name, address, legal status, no of shareholders etc.
The full term is DATA TERMINE DURATA STATUTARIA
Thanks

life of the company according to the by-laws / articles of assocation
The life of a company (usually perpetual) is written in to its by-laws (US) or articles of association (UK) which in Italian is the "statuto". If you can think of a *good* shorter way of saying it please let me know;-)

To translate "statuto" as "statute" in corporate law and finance is a common mistake. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a good reference because the two meanings are so intertwined and the numbers of wrong translations outweigh the right translations. However on a balance sheet the "riserva legale" is correctly translated as the "statutory reserve" (by statute of parliament) while the "riserva statutaria" is the "by-law reserve" (secondo lo statuto della società) or the "reserve required by the by-laws", where the "by-laws" (or articles of assoication for the UK) are the "statuto" in Italian.
I ONLY GIVE FIVE WHEN I REALLY AM SURE.

maryrose
: Yes. I think "statutory" implies "by law"

Lanna Castellano
: yes - the context shows that 'statutaria' refers to the company's 'statuto', not the law.
