Regions

Italy is subdivided into 20 regions (regioni, singular regione). Five of these regions enjoy a special autonomous status that enables them to enact legislation on some of their specific local matters (marked by a * in the list below). All regions except the Aosta Valley are further subdivided into two or more provinces (provincias). The lowest level of division is the municipality (comune).

The following list shows Italians regions (capitals in brackets) with any commonly used English names noted in square brackets.
