Italian Regions

Hello readers, 

First of all, I must give credit for most of this post to Wikipedia! Thank you Wikipedia! :)

Italy is a tad bit similar to America's divided states. Italy has regions, and within these regions: capital cities and other smaller cities. So, first I will list the region's name in English and then Italian (if it's different) and then I will write the capital city and population (there are 20 in all.)

• Abruzzo - L'Aquila - 1,344,955
• Aosta Valley - Valle di Auosta - Aosta - 128,820
• Apulia - Puglia - Bari - 4,086,020
• Basilicata - Potenza - 785,386
• Calabria - Catanzaro - 2,007,908
• Campagnia - Naples - 6,633,891

Now you know some Italian geography!! 

So far I have not 'scratched' my itching desire to see all of Italy! But, hopefully, I will see a good chunk of it before I have to go back home sometime in June. I don't know how I feel about going back home. I want to go back to my life, but I want to be able to come back to my Italian life whenever I want!! it's such a hard decision!! :) Luckily, I still have 5.5 months left!! 

Thanks for reading!! <3
