- Italy is subdivided into 20 regions, 5 of which have a special political autonomy. All of the regions have been given greater powers in the last few years, however, in preparation for Italy's reorganization on federal lines. Each region is subdivided in its turn into provinces and municipalities. The regions can pass laws. They also have administrative duties which can be delegated to the provinces and the municipalities. Each region is served by a council, a committee and a regional president.

- This is the Northern part of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, made up of the province of Bolzano, which passed to Italy after World War I. In German it is called the Südtirol. Most of the population are of German ethnicity and speak German. Since 1948 it has enjoyed a special autonomy, which was further strengthened in 1972: place names are given in German and Italian and civil servants have to pass a bilingual examination. School lessons are held exclusively in German for those of German extraction, and in Italian for those of Italian extraction. This ethnic separation for education should change in the future, giving way to true bilingualism.
