Regions of Italy

an authored list by diddit

After spending 19 hours in Southern Italy on a whirlwind trip through Europe, I've promised myself that one day I'd be back to see more. The country is rich in culture and filled with an energy I've yet to see matched. How many of these regions of Italy have you visited?

Abruzzo borders the region of Marche to the north, Lazio to the west and south-west, Molise to the south-east, and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Although geographically a central region, ISTAT (the Italian statistical authority) considers it part of Southern Italy, a vestige of Abruzzo's historic association with the Mezzogiorno, having been part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

Other regional specialties include Foccacia, farinata (chickpea flatbread), and a myriad of fantastic fish dishes, and the crack cocaine of the dessert world: dolce latte fritto (fried sweet milk). Genova i ...
