provisions for preferential debt / claims
The fondo here is a provision (a liability) recognised in the accounts to cover the risk of an expected loss. The loss here is the debt to be paid.
In IFRS a "fondo rischi" is just a "provision"
The standard translation (wrong in my opinion) is provision for risks and charges (fondo rischi e oneri). Often "enforced" by prrof readers of major auditors.
The UK version "provision for liabilities and charges"
However, '"risks or any addition" to "provisions for risks for preferential debt" is awkward or unnecessary. In US it would be an "accrued loss for preferential debt contingency" I believe.

The "in privilegio" just means given preferential treatment. Provision to pay debt subject to preferential treatment which will meet the claims of the (higher ranking preferential) creditors.

Italian term (edited):
accantonamenti - a fondi rischi - in privilegio
appropriations - to funds at risk - in (terms or rank of) priority
Excuse my Teach-Yourself Italian lingo level, but I read the 'privilege' not as a priority lien as the table goes on to rank the appropriations e.g. Privilegi Chirografi > unsecured priorities
Something went wrong...
