You should mention the hundreds of dialects spoken in every city or village 😀

[@richarddenny5340]

good video, very informative

[@phe9238]

You did well!

[@mtndudesf]

Should mention Venice as a main city and capital of Veneto region. Also Bologna the capital of Emilia-Romagna.

[@GeogLangJourno]

Yes, you are right! I wanted to keep the video fairly concise but adding the capitals for all of the regions would have made the video even better!

[@mtndudesf]

@GeogLangJourno Cagliari is not an important city, it can be omitted. Turin is less important than Venice, although Venice probably doesn't feel like a real city in your experience.

Trentino- South Tyrol is wrong. Its name is Trentino Alto Adige

🇮🇹At the beginning, explains the Italian Geographical Society, there were the Provinces, a typical legacy of a Risorgimento that had rejected federalism. The unitary state had been modeled on the Napoleonic-style centralistic organization with 59 territorial divisions of optimal size to be able to be crossed in a day's ride. Then came the Regions, which should have put an end to that model by starting the season of autonomy and decentralization. Instead the Provinces began to rise like whipped cream. At the birth of the Regions, in 1970, there were 94, three more than in 1947. Today there are 110. And with them the Unions of Municipalities, mountain communities, hill communities, municipal districts, districts, industrial development areas, tourist areas, Employment centers Not to mention the inextricable tangle of intermediate bodies between Municipalities, Provinces and Regions: from local health authorities to the thousands of local public companies, to optimal territorial areas, to reclamation consortia, even to educational institutions. And autonomy has turned into a frenzy. Overlapping of skills, duplication of functions, multiplication of responsibilities without anyone being truly responsible. All with five Regions (or six, considering the autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano) with such special status as to effectively protect them from any central conditioning. Such a complicated jumble that today no one is even able to say exactly how many public administrations there are in Italy: a recent survey estimated them at a number close to 46 thousand. But we have not yet been able to go beyond a simple estimate. Which says a lot about the disorder produced by this uncontrolled superfetation of administrative levels. The reform of Title V of the Constitution desired by the centre-left in 2001 then contributed to making mayonnaise go mad once and for all, decentralizing powers often in an irrational way: suffice it to say that each Region could draw up its own budget with its own accounting principles, and that among the matters of competition legislative work had also been put in place between the State and the Regions. As if companies in Lazio could have different rules on contracts relating to the same professions from those in Campania. It is no coincidence, therefore, that right from the beginning of the new century public spending began to increase exponentially: in ten years regional budgets doubled, without the growth in spending in the periphery having corresponded to a similar reduction in state spending central.

And "LE MARCHE capital Ancona" the only "plural" italian region !!! 😃

[@tic-tacdrin-drinn1505]

In the past there were also 'GLI' Abruzzi and 'LE' Puglie, but now these regions are singular...

[@ZakhadWOW]

there are references in historical records in various nations of something called "The Marches" and Le Marche is simply that Italian! As far as why the term March(es)? The word comes from the Middle Ages, when march or mark was the word for a borderland or a border between two different countries/states or zones.

Thank you. @@GeogLangJourno

[@aris1956]

A little info…..in Italian we distinguish two terms regarding “capital”. The capital of a nation is called...”La capitale“...(La capitale dell’Italia) and the capital of a region is called…”Il capoluogo“ (Il capoluogo della Calabria).

[@tic-tacdrin-drinn1505]

''Capoluogo” is a word imported from French by the Savoy monarchy to ideologically put down other important cities on the Italian territory (capoluogo di provincia is ok, but every region has a capital)@@aris1956

A plus point for you is that you didn't assign central Italy half to the north and half to the south -- as often happens -- . Your pronunciation is good, but Vèneto has the accent on the first syllable (not venèto).@@GeogLangJourno

[@accocci3]

Bravissimo ed esauriente, solo pochi sanno, anche gli stessi italiani, che, oltre le altre lingue parlate, i vari dialetti usati in Italia non sono una volgarizzazione dell'Italiano, ma, come per la stessa lingua italiana, sono una derivazione volgare del latino con innesti di antiche parole derivate dalle varie invasioni o innesti di altri popoli avvenuti con l'impero romano o varie dominazioni succedutesi nei secoli. Non regione, ma provincia o città che vai lingua che trovi, del resto l'italiano è una creazione letteraria, che ci unisce linguisticamente

Sudtirol is the best "italian region"

[@mnz145]

Pompous and arrogant. They’re all beautiful.

[@sad_wrangler8515]

@@mnz145 As a South Tyrolean, I agree. Yes, we do tend to have a sense of superiority, especially among the wealthier segment of our society. They often exploit foreigners as cheap labor in the tourism industry, which unfortunately like all tourism hotspots tarnishes the quality of life. Despite having a GDP per capita that's nearly double that of any other northern region in Italy, wages remain low, averaging around €1500 a month. South Tyrol is as prosperous as countries like Germany, the Netherlands, or Sweden, yet we see little benefit from this wealth besides of very few (South Tyrol has a GDP of 48-50.000€ per capita). This is why many of us feel a strong affinity towards Austria. We often choose to study at Austrian universities and even settle there.

[@extremathule982]

There is no South Tyrol among the Italian regions.

[@sad_wrangler8515]

@@extremathule982 There is a region called South Tyrol, also known as Trentino-Südtirol. Some people forget that, by law, the German, Italian, and Ladin are official languages in the autonomous province. As an Italian who is a member of the AIRA, essentially someone who has left Italy, I would suggest that Italy has far greater problems than the three linguistic provinces with their German, French, and Slovenian-speaking minorities. With a birth rate that will continue to fall like South Korea's, there may be no Italy by 2100.
