The 20 regions of Italy
Italy has 20 regions. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Italian name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Italian name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the regions
A region is the largest unit of local government in Italy. Each region divides further into provinces.
Five regions have a special statute. Sicily, Sardinia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Aosta Valley and Friuli-Venezia Giulia hold extra powers, because of language or distance from the mainland.
Some regions have a name in a second language. The quiz accepts South Tyrol for the German name inside Trentino-Alto Adige.
