
Geographical division: North, South, East, West;

Region: Italian local authority;



Municipalities: administrative body defined by specific territorial limits on which insists a portion of the population;

Sub-municipal area: areas defined in the 34 municipalities of greater demographic size and with a population of at least 100,000 inhabitants.
From the statistical-geographical point of view, the territory is partitioned as follows:

Census sections: part of the territory on which statistical surveys are made. The average population is about
170 individuals;

Census areas: pool of contiguous census sections;
• Localities: area, usually known by its own name, on which are located grouped or scattered houses.
