What are the Regions of Italy?

Italy is divided into 20 regions, each with an elected president and council, responsible for healthcare, regional transport and economic development.

  • Italy's 1948 constitution created the regions.
  • Many follow states or territories that existed before unification in 1861.
  • Five have a special statute with extra autonomy: Sicily, Sardinia, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Aosta Valley and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
  • The special-statute regions were set up between 1946 and 1963.
  • The 15 ordinary regions only got elected councils in 1970.
  • Molise, the newest region, was separated from Abruzzo in 1963.
