Italian term or phrase: accantonamenti ai fondi
It's about the figures presented in a table. I cannot find "ai fondi":

"al netto degli ammortamenti, degli **accantonamenti ai fondi**, delle tasse e delle spese straordinarie"

  -> thank you Peter - i thought that "provisions" were in fact what you call "allocations"... is this a US english / UK english difference?

agree  James (Jim) Davis: I've just searched MS and IBM FRs for allocation and provision. It reconfirmed my conviction "fondi" and "accontanmenti a fondi" are provisions, not allocations. Purchase price, resource, asset and profit allocation but not provision allocation.

  -> thank you Jim! // That's what I thought, too. The IFRS also talk about provisions, not allocations. Thank you very much for your searching.
