Italy Regions Quiz — Rules & What Counts
Italy divides into 20 regions. This quiz shows a blank map of Italy. You type the name of each region, and the map colors that region in place.
Five regions hold a special autonomy statute: Aosta Valley, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Sicily and Sardinia. They are answers like every other region.
How to play
Type region names in any order. A correct name colors the region on the map at once.
You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
English and Italian names both count. "Tuscany" and "Toscana" score the same region.
"Apulia" scores Puglia, and "South Tyrol" scores Trentino-Alto Adige.
A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the regions you missed.
What counts in this quiz
All 20 regions, from Aosta Valley in the north-west to Sicily in the south.
What's not included — and why
Provinces are not answers. The quiz asks for the region above them.
Cities are not answers. Rome, Milan, Naples and Venice do not score.
San Marino and Vatican City are separate countries. They are not regions of Italy.
Good to know
Sicily is the largest region by area, and it is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Aosta Valley is the smallest region by area and by population.
Lombardy has the most people. About 1 Italian in 6 lives there.
Trentino-Alto Adige has two official languages: Italian and German.
Only Umbria and Trentino-Alto Adige touch no sea and no foreign country in the south — Umbria is the one landlocked region with no border of either kind.
