The **regions of Italy** ( [Italian](/wiki/Italian_language "Italian language"): _regioni d'Italia_) are the first-level [administrative divisions](/wiki/Administrative_division "Administrative division") of the [Italian Republic](/wiki/Italy "Italy"), constituting its second [NUTS](/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics "Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics") administrative level.[\[1\]](#cite_note-eurostat-1) There are twenty regions, [five of which are autonomous regions with special status](#Autonomous_regions_with_special_statute). Under the [Constitution of Italy](/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy "Constitution of Italy"), each region is an autonomous entity with defined powers. With the exception of the [Aosta Valley](/wiki/Aosta_Valley "Aosta Valley") (since 1945) and [Friuli-Venezia Giulia](/wiki/Friuli-Venezia_Giulia "Friuli-Venezia Giulia") (2018–2020), each region is divided into a number of [provinces](/wiki/Provinces_of_Italy "Provinces of Italy").

## History

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: History")\]

During the [Kingdom of Italy](/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy "Kingdom of Italy"), regions were mere statistical districts of the central state. Under the Republic, they were granted a measure of political autonomy by the 1948 [Italian Constitution](/wiki/Italian_Constitution "Italian Constitution"). The original draft list comprised the [Salento](/wiki/Salento "Salento") region (which was eventually included in [Apulia](/wiki/Apulia "Apulia")); _Friuli_ and _Venezia Giulia_ were separate regions, and [Basilicata](/wiki/Basilicata "Basilicata") was named _Lucania_. [Abruzzo](/wiki/Abruzzo "Abruzzo") and [Molise](/wiki/Molise "Molise") were identified as separate regions in the first draft, but were later merged into _Abruzzi e Molise_ in the final constitution of 1948, before being separated in 1963.

Implementation of [regional autonomy](/wiki/Regional_autonomy "Regional autonomy") was postponed until the first Regional elections of 1970. The ruling [Christian Democracy](/wiki/Christian_Democracy_(Italy) "Christian Democracy (Italy)") party did not want the opposition [Italian Communist Party](/wiki/Italian_Communist_Party "Italian Communist Party") to gain power in the regions where it was historically rooted (the _red belt_ of [Emilia-Romagna](/wiki/Emilia-Romagna "Emilia-Romagna"), [Tuscany](/wiki/Tuscany "Tuscany"), [Umbria](/wiki/Umbria "Umbria") and the [Marches](/wiki/Marche "Marche")).

Regions acquired a significant level of autonomy following a constitutional reform in 2001 (brought about by a centre-left government and confirmed by popular referendum), which granted them residual policy competence. A further [federalist](/wiki/Federalist "Federalist") reform was proposed by the regionalist party [Lega Nord](/wiki/Lega_Nord "Lega Nord") and in 2005, the centre-right government led by [Silvio Berlusconi](/wiki/Silvio_Berlusconi "Silvio Berlusconi") proposed a new reform that would have greatly increased the power of regions.[\[2\]](#cite_note-fedref-2)

The proposals, which had been particularly associated with [Lega Nord](/wiki/Lega_Nord "Lega Nord"), and seen by some as leading the way to a federal state, were rejected in the [2006 Italian constitutional referendum](/wiki/2006_Italian_constitutional_referendum "2006 Italian constitutional referendum") by 61.7% "no" to 38.3% "yes".[\[2\]](#cite_note-fedref-2) The results varied considerably among the regions, ranging from 55.3% in favour in [Veneto](/wiki/Veneto "Veneto") to 82% against in [Calabria](/wiki/Calabria "Calabria").[\[2\]](#cite_note-fedref-2)

## Status

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Status")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Autonomous_Regions_of_Italy.svg/220px-Autonomous_Regions_of_Italy.svg.png)](/wiki/File:Autonomous_Regions_of_Italy.svg) The 5 autonomous regions in red and the 15 ordinary regions in gray

Every region has a statute that serves as a regional constitution, determining the form of government and the fundamental principles of the organization and the functioning of the region, as prescribed by the _Constitution of Italy_ ( [Article 123](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy#Art._123 "wikisource:Constitution of Italy")). Although all the regions except [Tuscany](/wiki/Tuscany "Tuscany") define themselves in various ways as an "autonomous Region" in the first article of their Statutes,[\[7\]](#cite_note-7) fifteen regions have ordinary statutes and five have special statutes, granting them extended autonomy.

### Regions with ordinary statute

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Regions with ordinary statute")\]

These regions, whose statutes are approved by their regional councils, were created in 1970, even though the Italian Constitution dates back to 1948. Since the constitutional reform of 2001 they have had residual legislative powers: _the regions have exclusive legislative power with respect to any matters not expressly reserved to state law_ ( [Article 117](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy#Art._117 "wikisource:Constitution of Italy")).[\[8\]](#cite_note-8) Yet their financial autonomy is quite modest: they keep just 20% of all levied taxes, mostly used to finance the [region-based healthcare system](/wiki/Healthcare_in_Italy "Healthcare in Italy").[\[9\]](#cite_note-Rai-9)

### Autonomous regions with special statute

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Autonomous regions with special statute")\]

[Article 116](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy#Article_116 "wikisource:Constitution of Italy") of the [Italian Constitution](/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy "Constitution of Italy") grants [home rule](/wiki/Home_rule "Home rule") to five regions, namely the [Aosta Valley](/wiki/Aosta_Valley "Aosta Valley"), [Friuli-Venezia Giulia](/wiki/Friuli-Venezia_Giulia "Friuli-Venezia Giulia"), [Sardinia](/wiki/Sardinia "Sardinia"), [Sicily](/wiki/Sicily "Sicily"), and [Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol](/wiki/Trentino-Alto_Adige/S%C3%BCdtirol "Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol"), allowing them some legislative, administrative and financial power to a varying extent, depending on their specific statute. These regions became autonomous in order to take into account cultural differences and protect linguistic minorities. Moreover, the government wanted to prevent them from potentially seceding or being taken away from Italy after the defeat in [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II").[\[10\]](#cite_note-Prof._Dr._Hiroko_Kudo-10)

## Institutions

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Institutions")\]

Each region has an elected parliament, called _Consiglio Regionale_ (regional council), or _Assemblea Regionale_ (regional assembly) in Sicily, and a government called _Giunta Regionale_ (regional committee), headed by a governor called _Presidente della Giunta Regionale_ (president of the regional committee) or _Presidente della Regione_ (regional president). The latter is directly elected by the citizens of each region, with the exceptions of Aosta Valley and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol regions where the president is chosen by the regional council.

Under the 1995 electoral law, the winning coalition receives an absolute majority of seats on the council. The president chairs the _giunta_, and nominates or dismisses its members, called _[assessori](/wiki/Assessor_(Italy) "Assessor (Italy)")_. If the directly elected president resigns, new elections are called immediately.

In the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region, the regional council is made up of the joint session of the two provincial councils of Trentino and of South Tyrol. The regional president is one of the two provincial commissioners.

## Representation in the Senate

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Regions_of_Italy&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Representation in the Senate")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Italian_senators.png/220px-Italian_senators.png)](/wiki/File:Italian_senators.png) Number of senators assigned to each Region before 2020

Article 57 of the [Constitution of Italy](/wiki/Constitution_of_Italy "Constitution of Italy") originally established that the [Senate of the Republic](/wiki/Senate_of_the_Republic_(Italy) "Senate of the Republic (Italy)") was to be elected on a regional basis by Italian citizens aged 25 or older (unlike the [Chamber of the Deputies](/wiki/Chamber_of_Deputies_(Italy) "Chamber of Deputies (Italy)"), which was elected on a national basis and by all Italian citizens aged 18 or older). No region could have less than 7 senators, except for the two smallest regions: [Aosta Valley](/wiki/Aosta_Valley "Aosta Valley") (1 senator) and [Molise](/wiki/Molise "Molise") (2 senators). From 2006 to 2020, 6 out of 315 senators (and 12 out of 630 deputies) were elected by [Italians residing abroad](/wiki/Overseas_constituencies_of_Italian_Parliament "Overseas constituencies of Italian Parliament").

After two constitutional amendments were passed respectively in 2020 (by [constitutional referendum](/wiki/2020_Italian_constitutional_referendum "2020 Italian constitutional referendum")) and 2021, however, there have been changes. The Senate is still elected on a regional basis, but the number of senators was reduced from 315 to 200, who are now elected by all citizens aged 18 or older, just like deputies (themselves being reduced from 630 to 400). Italians residing abroad now elect 4 senators (and 8 deputies).

The remaining 196 senators are assigned to each region proportionally according to their population. The amended Article 57 of the Constitution provides that no region can have fewer than 3 senators representing it, barring Aosta Valley and Molise, which retained 1 and 2 senators respectively.
