Subdivisions of Italy in local languages: the 20 regions and provinces
Italy is divided into 20 regions and, below them, provinces, metropolitan cities and their equivalents.

01 · Reading guide
Provincia, Pruvincia, Provìntzia: how to read the list
Every row starts with the Italian name of the unit and, on the second line, its seat. The columns to the right give the same pair in the regional or minority languages the list records for that region: German, Friulian, Slovenian and Venetian in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Franco-Provençal and Piedmontese in Piedmont, Sardinian in Sardinia, Neapolitan in Campania, and so on. Ten regions have no second language in the list.
The word for province changes with the language: Provincia di Napoli is Pruvincia ’e Nàpule in Neapolitan, Provincia di Genova Provinsa de Zena in Ligurian, Provincia di Bologna Pruvénzia ed Bulåggna in Emiliano-Romagnolo. Gorizia appears four times over, as Provinz Görz, Provincie di Gurize, Goriška pokrajina and Provincia de Gorisia. Some seats keep an older local name: Agrigento is Girgenti in Sicilian, Enna also Castrugiuvanni, Sassari Tàtari and Oristano Aristanis in Sardinian.

Names and seats: the 2016 edition of this list. Codes and categories: ISO 3166-2:IT with its changes of 9 April 2019, 22 November 2019 and 24 November 2020, read from the English Wikipedia table that reproduces it on 28 October 2026. Sardinia since 2025: the English Wikipedia articles on the provinces of Gallura North-East Sardinia, Medio Campidano, Ogliastra, Sulcis Iglesiente and South Sardinia and the Metropolitan City of Sassari, which cite the regional law 7/2021 and the decrees of the Region of Sardinia; the two added rows take their names and seats from there.

Metropolitan cities, Sicilian consortia and a new map of Sardinia
In April 2019 ISO 3166-2 gave 14 provinces the category metropolitan city, among them Roma, Milano, Napoli, Torino and, in Sicily, Palermo, Catania and Messina. The other six Sicilian provinces became free municipal consortia, liberi consorzi comunali. In the same update the four provinces of Friuli Venezia Giulia were deleted; in November 2020 ISO restored Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine with their old codes as decentralized regional entities. The province of Aosta lost its code in November 2019.
Sardinia changed twice. In 2016 its eight provinces were cut to five: Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano went into the new Sud Sardegna, Olbia-Tempio back into Sassari and Ogliastra into Nuoro, and ISO followed in 2019 with IT-SU. A regional law of 2021 reversed most of this. Between April and June 2025 the Metropolitan City of Sassari, Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Ogliastra, Medio Campidano and Sulcis Iglesiente (Provìntzia de su Sulcis Igresiente) began to work and Sud Sardegna was dissolved. ISO 3166-2 had not recorded this when checked on 28 October 2026: it still lists Sassari as a province and IT-SU, and none of the restored provinces.
