President Joe Biden, 81, is under fire for what many are calling his “worst ever” performance at the G7 summit in Puglia, Italy. During a photo op with world leaders, Biden appeared disoriented and had to be guided back by Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after wandering off. Video footage shows Biden turning away from the group during a parachute display, prompting puzzled reactions.

Leader of the Free World

Good Job Democrats!!

9. Tattoos?

i have two (like ericka!) both on my right arm. one's inspired by my favorite place, porto selvaggio in puglia (southern italy) and i love it sooooo much i think it's so pretty (and i get compliments about it pretty regularly which is impressive bc it's not Super easy to see but it catches people's attention who want to see it better). the other's a person painting 3 stars with the lyrics "cambia le tue stelle" underneath. i'd like to get more, but same issues as ericka (what to get?? they're fucking expensive) BUT i'm thinking of like getting an addition to the stars tattoo bc basically the 3 stars represent 2 people + 1 pet who passed away that i love very much and now that my sweet little cat ripy is gone too it feels right to get something for him as well. but i have to decide stuff and i'm super bad at decisions lately :^)

Days 89-90 And that’s a wrap on the gap quarter…

as we head from Tangier to Madrid via Ryanair, spend a short night at a hotel (with the most comfy bed in a while) and start the long haul home via Hong Kong.

This was the longest holiday I’ve had, previously a couple of 8 week stints. And the longest solo travel at 9 weeks, previous one 8 weeks.

I was particularly pleased when Rose joined me, not only for the shared memories and experience but also I’m not sure I would have been as confident, or the experience as enjoyable, in Morocco on my own.

In the future I definitely want more of staying in the one place for longer and feeling less rushed, and less time wasted and less stress of packing and repacking. I’m up for more car hire to provide flexibility and keep those neurons firing.

In the future I definitely want less baggage 🥴

I’m not much of a blogger or writer and I started doing Tumblr blogs on my first solo trip to Europe. It helps me stay present; and maybe one day my future grandkids might read it and be inspired to travel too.

I do appreciate those who patiently listened to my pre-planning that went on for months, maybe over a year, as I kept changing my mind 🥴 and for all of you who checked in on me and read my ramblings, and for your encouraging comments along the way. Not everyday was emotionally easy, but I didn’t want to bore you with my inner demons!

For those wondering, I did finish the book, "Mrs Winterbottom takes a Gap Year", way back. It was a very easy read and there was nothing too profound to be honest. Bec Wilson (Prime Time podcaster) recommended I read it before I travelled, I'm not sure why. Spoiler alert, Mrs Winterbottom and her husband retired from their general practice and struggled to find their new norm. She wanted an overseas adventure, he wanted to build a huge veggie garden and stay at home, having travelled in his youth. She went without him, on the advice of a friend who sadly passed. She took the ashes of her friend and headed to Greece. She had an emotional connection with a Greek sailor. Her husband and adult children surprised her by showing up. She reconciled things with her husband, they travelled around in the boat they bought off said Greek sailor and her insight from the Greek experience was that volunteering / mentoring younger doctors could be fulfilling in retirement.

Now I met no Greek sailor, but someone better, Rosie from Halifax. We certainly have a connection and many shared experiences, including bursts of laughter over our incontinence and much more 😂 Thank you Rosie for making my gap quarter that much more exciting and pleasurable.

What's next for me...while I was away my job changed (I'm going back to Social Security & Welfare, this time a stint in contact centres). I'm not unhappy about this, although I will miss "my" peeps in Health. I will be living out of suitcases until late August as I rented out my room! I have a long weekend in Townsville for Keely's birthday, a long weekend in Cairns to catch up with my former EA, a plan to go to Vietnam after Christmas and hopefully meet up with Rosie and a plan to go to India with another friend in March. Pending finances and anything else that might pop up, I'd like to spend my next European vacation in the south of Italy, seeing Sicily, Palermo, Portofino, Puglia and surrounds. Any tips greatly appreciated XXX

Dopo il voto, al via la corsa ai vertici delle istituzioni europee

Inizia la corsa a Bruxelles per i principali incarichi delle Istituzioni europee dopo il voto degli elettori. Una corsa che si avvia con tensioni - non nuove - tra il presidente del Consiglio europeo, Charles Michel, e la presidente della Commissione, Ursula von der Leyen, candidata del PPE per un secondo mandato. Secondo fonti di Bruxelles, Michel non la vorrebbe alla cena informale di lunedì prossimo (17 giugno) a Bruxelles per discutere del dossier altamente politico. Dopo il voto, la corsa ai vertici delle istituzioni europee Essendo lei in carica, Michel, il cui mandato scade a fine novembre e anche il suo ruolo è in discussione, preferirebbe che i capi di Stato e di Governo ne discutano in sua assenza per avere un clima più aperto. Von der Leyen non è d'accordo. La sua portavoce, dalla sala stampa del Berlaymont, ha dichiarato che "essendo lei membro del Consiglio europeo ci si aspetta che partecipi". Insomma, vuole un posto al tavolo. Anche chi voleva anticipare i negoziati a margine del Summit del G7 in Puglia è stato frenato. Al Summit saranno presenti i big dei Ventisette: Italia, Francia e Germania, oltre a Michel e von der Leyen. Alla ricerca di una maggioranza "Gli accordi presi in passato nei G7 o G20 hanno creato più tensioni che soluzioni perché la rappresentanza è limitata. Il momento per discutere dei top jobs è la cena di lunedì dove saranno presenti tutti i leader", ha precisato un alto funzionario dell'Unione europea che lavora alla preparazione della cena dei leader. Intanto i partiti continuano a fare i conti. Negli ultimi dati pubblicati dal Parlamento europeo sulla nuova composizione dell'emiciclo, la maggioranza Ursula si ferma a 400 seggi (su 720 membri): 186 PPE; 135 S&D e 79 Renew. Nella legislatura uscente era 417 (su 705 membri): 176 PPE; 139 S&D e 102 Renew. Per quanto riguarda gli altri gruppi: ECR diventa quarto gruppo con 73 seggi (da 69); ID 58 da 49; Verdi 53 da 71; La Sinistra 36 (da 37); i non-iscritti sono 45 e dai nuovi partiti 55. Dai nuovi partiti e dai non iscritti sono attesi altri seggi a favore della maggioranza, ma per dormire sonni tranquilli Ursula von der Leyen ha bisogno comunque di allargare la maggioranza ai Verdi oppure all'ECR (la maggioranza assoluta è 361 seggi). Dal PPE, il segretario generale del partito, Thanasis Bakolas, ha già chiarito che "non ci saranno accordi formali o istituzionalizzati con Giorgia Meloni". Per i Verdi, invece, la porta sembra aprirsi. Ma questo si vedrà nei prossimi giorni. La corsa per i commissari Dalla convocazione della prima plenaria all'elezione del presidente della commissione, ci sono vari passaggi che i nuovi eurodeputati dovranno affrontare per riprendere l'attività legislativa. In parallelo parte la corsa per i commissari. Il primo Paese a farsi avanti è la Lettonia, che ha riconfermato per un terzo mandato Valdis Dombrovskis, attuale vice presidente esecutivo con delega all'Economia. I liberali vorrebbero ottenere il ruolo di Alto rappresentante per la Politica estera, con il primo tra i papabili il premier belga dimissionario, Alexander De Croo. I socialisti, invece, rivendicherebbero la presidenza del Consiglio europeo per l'ex premier portoghese, Antonio Costa. Foto di NoName_13 da Pixabay Read the full article

Since we've become a part of the Great American Media family, you may have noticed a few new faces in our movies and shows. We wanted to take some time to introduce you to these new faces - who they are and what they do both on and off screen.

In support of "One Perfect Match" streaming exclusively on Great American Pure Flix today, we're going to introduce you to the star of the film, Merritt Patterson.

Merritt is no stranger to Great American Christmas, as she's starred in several of Great American Family's Christmas movies over the years - including a new one coming later this year. But before we get into that, let's get to know Merritt's backgroud a little more.

Here are a few things you may not know about Merritt Patterson:

She's Canadian: Merritt grew up in the Whistler area. Another fun fact: many of Great American Family's movies are filmed in Canada! Merritt started acting at the age of 15: Her acting credits date back to 2006, including popular TV shows such as "The Royals" and the "Pretty Little Liars" spinoff, "Ravenswood."

She recently got married: Merritt and her husband, talent agent JR Ringer, tied the knot in 2022 in Puglia, Italy. They just celebrated their first weddding anniversary.

She loves to travel: Her social media feed is filled with stunning photos of her most recent adventures, including Kenya, New York and Vancouver.

Coming Soon: Trevor Donavan & Merritt Patterson Reunite for a New Great American Christmas Film

This Great American Family pair has been seen on-camera together before (keep reading for those details!) and they're coming together again for Great American Christmas 2023. The pair will star in "'Twas the Text Before Christmas."

In "'Twas the Text Before Christmas," Addie, played by Merritt, is a New York City chiropractor who mistakenly receives a text from “Nana.” The accidental text turns into a loving friendship between the matronly Nana and Addie who now communicate regularly. Nana invites Addie to spend the holiday in Vermont. It is picture-postcard perfect and exactly as Nana described except for one surprise. Nana’s single son, James (Donovan), a traveling doctor is also home for the holidays. Over three consecutive years, James and Addie are together during the holidays, though it isn’t until they are both single that they begin to see each other in a different light.

What to Watch: Merritt Patterson Movie List

Here's some notable films where you may recognize Merritt Patterson. Catch "One Perfect Match" now streaming on Great American Pure Flix!

One Perfect Match - A Great American Family Original

A professional matchmaker, played by Merritt, must choose between her job and her heart when she falls for a client.

"One of my favorite parts of this movie is that [the main] characters are both successful, very put-together, confident characters. And when they interact they become a bit frazzled and charmed with each other. I think that's so endearing and I think the audience will really lean into that aspect of it and appreciate that," Merritt said of the film.

Fun Fact: This movie was written by Ansely Gordon, who played Abigail in the Great American Original movie, "The Abigail Mysteries."

"One Perfect Match" is currently streaming on Great American Pure Flix.

Catering Christmas - A Great American Christmas Film

A fledgling caterer, Molly Frost, is hired by Jean Harrison, the perfectionistic director of the renowned Harrison Foundation, to cater this year’s annual Christmas Gala dinner. Things get complicated when Molly falls for Jean’s nephew, Carson, 30s, a travel photographer with no desire to take over the family’s foundation… until his aunt assigns him to the task of making sure the catered dinner goes perfectly.

Merritt plays Molly in her most recent Great American Christmas film.

Jingle Bell Princess - A Great American Christmas Film

Through a series of mishaps, sophisticated Princess Amelia, played by Merritt, is stranded in the small town of Tucker, Maine. There, she becomes an “ordinary” guest of the unsuspecting Cutler family. Adapted from the book by Barbara Dunlap.

"Jingle Bell Princess" was originally released on Great American Family December 4, 2021.

Unbroken: Path to Redemption

The Louis Zamperini movie “Unbroken: Path to Redemption” picks up where the hit movie “Unbroken” left off: a returning World War II war hero fighting the demons of post-traumatic stress disorder. He had survived the atrocities of a Japanese prisoner of war camp and U.S. victory had been declared, but the war was still raging in his soul.

Merritt plays Cynthia Applewhite, Louis' husband, in this movie based on a true story.

Watch Merritt Patterson in "One Perfect Match" on Great American Pure Flix today, and keep your eyes open for her upcoming Great American Christmas movie, "'Twas the Text Before Christmas," later this year!

Deadly Mediterranean wildfires kill more than 40

More than 40 people have died in Algeria, Italy and Greece as Mediterranean wildfires threaten villages and holiday resorts, and thousands have been evacuated. Greece is preparing for more evacuation flights from Rhodes, as fires also rage on the islands of Corfu and Evia. The current long heatwave shows no let-up - temperatures are expected to rise above 44C (111F) in parts of Greece. Fires in Sicily and Puglia have forced thousands of people to flee. High winds and tinder-dry vegetation mean firefighters are struggling in many areas to douse the flames and create firebreaks. The heaviest death toll so far is in Algeria, where the 34 victims included 10 soldiers surrounded by flames during an evacuation in the coastal province of Bejaia, east of Algiers. Bejaia is the worst-hit area, accounting for 23 of the deaths, local media report. Algerian authorities said 80% of the blazes had been put out since Sunday, but a massive firefighting effort continues, involving about 8,000 personnel, hundreds of fire engines and some aircraft. Fires have also raged in neighbouring Tunisia, where 300 people had to be evacuated from the coastal village of Melloula. In Greece, the Civil Protection Ministry warned of an "extreme danger" of fire in six of the country's 13 regions on Wednesday. A team of climate scientists - the World Weather Attribution group - said this month's intense heatwave in Southern Europe, North America and China would have been virtually impossible without human-induced climate change. Two pilots died on the island of Evia, just north of Athens, when their Canadair firefighting plane crashed into a ravine. Elsewhere on the island a man's charred body was found in a remote rural shack. On the island of Rhodes more than 20,000 people have been evacuated from homes and resorts in the south in recent days. An airport official told AFP news agency that more than 5,000 had flown home on more than 40 emergency flights between Sunday and Tuesday. Holiday firms Jet2 and Tui have cancelled departures for Rhodes for the coming days. Tourism accounts for one in five jobs in Greece, and the industry is vital for Rhodes and many other islands. The UK Foreign Office has not advised against travel to the affected parts of Greece, but has urged tourists to check with tour operators for updates. Thousands of people have also been evacuated on Evia and Corfu, while Crete - another major holiday destination - is on high alert. Italy has been hit by contrasting extreme weather events - with deadly storms in the north and wildfires in Sicily as well as several more southern regions. A couple in their 70s were found dead in a fire-gutted holiday home near Palermo, after fire came close to the boundary of the city's airport. An 88-year-old woman also died near the city. Parts of the city of Catania went without water and power after cables burned in temperatures that climbed to 47.6C on Monday. On the mainland, in Calabria, just east of Sicily, a man aged 98 was trapped by flames in his home and his daughter and son-in-law suffered burns while trying to save him. A wildfire in the Foggia region, on Italy's Adriatic coast, forced the evacuation of 2,000 people from hotels and campsites. The blaze approached Vieste from a nearby national park. The storms in the north, meanwhile, claimed two lives on Tuesday - victims of falling trees. Tornadoes, hailstorms and gale-force winds of up to 110km/h (70mph) struck Lombardy and other northern regions. Chiara Rossetti, 16, was on a scouts' summer camp trip when her tent was hit by a tree in the province of Brescia. "We are experiencing in Italy one of the most complicated days in recent decades - rainstorms, tornadoes and giant hail in the north, and scorching heat and devastating fires in the centre and south," said Civil Protection minister Nello Musumeci. He said he intended to appeal to the EU to boost its fleet of Canadair firefighting planes. Fires also broke out on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica in the early hours of Wednesday. Gales of up to 130km/h (80mph) whipped up the flames and for several hours three villages came under threat. Read the full article

Lecce: presentato il progetto O.L.T.R.E

Lecce: presentato il progetto O.L.T.R.E.  Al via il progetto "O.L.TR.E. - Orientamento Lavoro Training Empowerment”, per il quale il Comune di Lecce ha ottenuto un finanziamento di 91 mila euro nell’ambito dell’avviso pubblico regionale “Punti cardinali: punti di orientamento per la formazione e il lavoro”. La presentazione si è tenuta questa mattina alle Officine Cantelmo. Per la realizzazione del progetto sono stati individuati tramite avviso pubblico in fase di redazione del progetto una “rete” di partner che comprende The Qube APS, Confcommercio Lecce, Innova.Menti Ets, Aforisma, Tdf Mediterranea, Società Cooperativa Officine Cantelmo, Ce.F.A.S – Centro di Formazione ed Alta Specializzazione, Factory 47 e la scuola secondaria di 1° Grado ad indirizzo musicale Ascanio Grandi. Rivolto alla popolazione dai 6 ai 34 anni residente nella provincia di Lecce, O.L.T.R.E intende fornire percorsi specifici per diversi target: dagli studenti delle scuole elementari e medie, ai neet, ai cittadini al di sotto dei 35 anni che sono in cerca di prima occupazione. Il fine è stimolare l’acquisizione delle soft skills che oggi sono ricercate sul mercato del lavoro, diffondere la conoscenza delle nuove opportunità, facilitare l’accesso ai nuovi strumenti che consentono l’incontro tra domanda e offerta di lavoro. In linea con le indicazioni del bando Punti Cardinali, sono previsti 60 “Orientation Labs” con 300 ore di attività, alcune delle quali sono state già realizzate a giugno presso le Officine Cantelmo. I laboratori puntano a trasmettere conoscenze e abilità tramite le tecniche della gamification, del walkabout, dei linguaggi visivi e delle arti performative, del project-work. All’attività laboratoriale il progetto affianca l’organizzazione e realizzazione di 8 “Job Days”. Fra questi, alcuni permetteranno l’incontro di studenti o i lavoratori con le “eccellenze del territorio” pugliese; altri, invece, vedranno tutti i Partner di progetto coinvolti alle Officine Cantelmo nella realizzazione di uno Startup Weekend su innovazione, creatività e capacità imprenditoriali, con la possibilità per i giovani di esporre idee imprenditoriali che saranno selezionate e alle quali sarà garantito dai partner supporto per lo sviluppo progettuale. Una giornata di incontro tra gli studenti e i potenziali lavoratori con le aziende che rappresentano eccellenze del territorio, con il supporto delle associazioni di categoria che sono partner. Alle Cantelmo, inoltre, è attivo dal 17 maggio scorso un “Orientation Desk” della durata continuativa di sei mesi, con l’obiettivo di accompagnare cittadini e cittadine nel passaggio dalla scuola al lavoro, ponendolo nelle condizioni di affrontare scelte consapevoli ed efficaci, seguendo le proprie attitudini, competenze e capacità professionali. “Punti Cardinali è una misura sperimentale che ha raggiunto in Puglia 166 amministrazioni comunali, con un investimento nella solo provincia di Lecce di circa 4.732.000 euro – dichiara l’assessore alla Formazione e Politiche del Lavoro Sebastiano Leo – Abbiamo voluto rivolgerci proprio ai Comuni per intercettare e coinvolgere le persone senza lavoro, i neet ma non solo, perché crediamo che siano le amministrazioni locali ad avere contezza delle realtà di appartenenza. Un progetto che si compie grazie alla creazione di una rete tra amministrazioni, stakeholder territoriali, attivi nei sistemi regionali per il lavoro, nell’istruzione e formazione, gli Enti del terzo settore, le imprese, le associazioni di categoria e sindacati. È una misura che investe sul capitale umano cercando di incrociare le attitudini del territorio e delle persone valorizzandone le potenzialità, lavorare sulle tante fragilità, raggiungendo i neet ma anche chi non riesce a rientrare nel mondo del lavoro, per ridare loro fiducia. Con Punti Cardinali, che dopo questa prima fase sperimentale sarà una misura strutturata, vogliamo cogliere le opportunità offerte dai territori e fare in modo che siano una porta di ingresso nel circuito economico e sociale.” “Il progetto Punti cardinali tiene insieme istituzioni e terzo settore per un obiettivo comune – dichiara l’assessora al Welfare Silvia Miglietta – investire sulla formazione e le abilità che consentono di presentarsi pronti all’appuntamento con il mondo del lavoro, che è in continua evoluzione e offre opportunità che occorre essere in grado di cogliere. Grazie alle attività innovative previste dal progetto puntiamo a generare opportunità sia per chi cerca lavoro che per chi è in cerca dei lavoratori in possesso di abilità al passo con i tempi”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Conte, intervistato da Bruno Vespa, parla dei rapporti con il Pd di Elly Schlein

Conte, intervistato da Bruno Vespa, parla dei rapporti con il Pd di Elly Schlein "Prendo atto che sulla guerra non ci siamo, non vedo svolte da parte del Pd". Così il presidente del M5s, Giuseppe Conte, parlando dei rapporti con il Pd di Elly Schlein, intervistato da Bruno Vespa al 'Forum in masseria' in corso a Manduria. Sulla guerra in Ucraina da parte del Pd "confido che possa esserci una svolta, perché fino adesso il Pd continua sulla linea bellicista, ovviamente quando si tratta di votare concretamente i vari provvedimenti". E ha aggiunto: "Sulla guerra vedo che ci sono ancora dissonanze come anche sulla transizione ecologica". “Siccome in guerra ormai, indirettamente ma temo direttamente tra un po', ci siamo anche noi, dico che abbiamo pieno titolo per sederci a un tavolo e non possiamo offrire a Zelensky una cambiale in bianco, ché ci dica lui come e quando vuole fare la pace, se la vuole fare, a quali condizioni, se vuole arrivare a Mosca o se deve vincere Putin. E lo dico nel rispetto di Zelensky e in appoggio della popolazione ucraina". Così il presidente del M5s, Giuseppe Conte nel corso dell'intervista. Conte registra invece altre convergenze con il Pd di Schlein. "Con lei c'è sicuramente una maggiore determinazione del Pd verso, ad esempio, il salario minimo legale". E ha aggiunto: "Il Pd sta facendo progressi sulla lotta alla precarietà, si sta smarcano dal Pd renziano del Jobs act e sono ben contento". "Stiamo aspettando la quarta rata del Pnrr da qualche mese che non sta arrivando, allora mettiamoci attorno a un tavolo. Questo non è il progetto di Conte ma nemmeno il progetto di Meloni, è il piano di rilancio dell'Italia" ha detto Giuseppe Conte. "A noi interessano obiettivi e progetti politici, con il Pd posso condividere obiettivi e battaglie. Questo dialogo va affinato e spero che possa crescere e si rafforzi per creare terreni comuni di azione, ma un'alleanza organica oggi è fuori luogo", ha precisato Giuseppe Conte che insiste: "Il campo largo è una formula che non esiste. Qui si tratta di fare opposizione intransigente in modo serio, piuttosto che votare, come fanno alcune forze che dicono di essere opposizione, con il governo e quindi da questo punto di vista a noi interessa offrire una visione diversa del Paese". "Oltre a una critica generica di ritardi sul Pnrr" mi piacerebbe che "se ne aprisse una specifica" sui singoli temi "e sui fatti" e così si "potrebbe aprire un dibattito utile per il nostro paese". Lo afferma il ministro alle Politiche Europee, al Pnrr, alle Politiche di Coesione e al Sud Raffaele Fitto intervenendo al Forum in Masseria di Bruno Vespa in merito alle critiche dell'opposizione. "Ma è credibile dire che un piano nato due anni fa negli ultimi 6 mesi ha avuto tutto quello che rappresenta un grande ritardo, come se non ci fosse un prima o una comparazione con gli altri paesi europei?". E' quanto si chiede il ministro in merito alle critiche da parte dell'opposizione sottolineando come "abbiamo operato fino a oggi senza il patto di stabilità mentre ora siamo alla vigilia del ritorno del patto e non possiamo fare finta di nulla". "Il governo non darà alle regioni un importo generico affinchè li possano spendere come meglio ritengono" ma pensiamo a "una serie di obiettivi pochi, con un elenco preciso e un cronoprogramma". Lo afferma Raffaele Fitto intervenendo al forum in Masseria in merito alle critiche del presidente della Regione Puglia Emiliano. I "dati della Ragioneria dello Stato - afferma - ci dicono che l'utilizzo delle risorse per le politiche di coesione 2014-2020 si è fermato al 34%. E' un sistema che non funziona". Il ministro ha aggiunto di "non voler replicare a nessuno, non l'ho fatto in questi mesi e non lo farò" sottolineando come negli incontri avuti nelle scorse settimane mesi 19 presidenti di regione "mi ha detto procediamo e da due sono arrivate critiche. Mi sarei preoccupato se fosse stato il contrario, ovvero 19 presidenti che avessero detto che era tutto un disastro". Il ministro è tornato a chiedere critiche sui temi specifici: altrimenti, "credo che lo scontro sia un modo per alzare il polverone".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Regioni, Province, Comuni

Italy is a Republic made of 5 constitutive elements: Regioni, Comuni, Stato, Province and Città Metropolitane.

The Stato Italiano (Italian Nation/Country) is divided into 20 Regioni, basically 20 big districts (see pic below): Valle d'Aosta, Lombardia, Piemonte, Liguria, Veneto, Trentino-Alto-Adige, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Emilia-Romagna, Toscana, Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, and the two big islands Sicilia and Sardegna.

Each of these Regioni has a Capoluogo di Regione (Chief place of the region/district), which generally is the most important city of that district (the most populated as well) in which there are the all the offices that control the whole area and connect it directly with the Stato's ones.

Here the Capoluoghi di Regione for each region:

Valle d'Aosta (Aosta), Lombardia (Milano), Piemonte (Torino), Liguria (Genova), Veneto (Venezia), Trentino-Alto-Adige (Trento), Friuli-Venezia-Giulia (Trieste), Emilia-Romagna (Bologna), Toscana (Firenze), Marche (Ancona), Umbria (Perugia), Lazio (Roma), Abruzzo (L'Aquila), Campania (Napoli), Molise (Campobasso), Puglia (Bari), Basilicata (Potenza), Calabria (Catanzaro), Sicilia (Palermo) and Sardegna (Cagliari).

There are 5 Regioni a Statuto Speciale (meaning that they can control themselves also in order to provide to the minorities on their soil. They basically can keep a bigger amount of taxes and can use it for school, health and other needs, while the other Regioni have to ask the State). These Regioni are Sicilia, Sardegna, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Trentino-Alto-Adige (also to protect the German speaking minority; btw it has the two Province autonome Trento and Bolzano as well, meaning those two are quite indipendent from the Region too), and Valle d'Aosta (also to protect the francophone minority - there's also a german minority as well here btw, on the part halfway with Piedmont: the Walsers).

Inside of each Regione, there are smaller areas/district called Province. Each Provincia has a Capoluogo di Provincia, which is basically, as the Capoluogo di Regione, the most important city of that small area (all this is made to control more easily and accurately each area). Check this:

The number of the Capoluoghi di Provincia, as you can see, can vary according on how big each Regione is.

In Piedmont, for example, we have 8: Torino (which has, as the other Capoluoghi di Regione, a "double job" let's say), Asti, Alessandria, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Verbania: the noun VCO is bc it's the whole area's name, the capoluogo is Verbania, which is made of two smaller city on the Lake Maggiore... yeah not easy to grasp but it's basically an exception and you don't have to remember it) and Vercelli.

Inside of each Provincia there are the Comuni: Comuni are even smaller areas, and are basically... infinite? I mean, there could be a hundred even in the smallest Provincia. Take this last pic and imagine to divide it all into even smaller parts. Some Comuni are so small, they're made of a few inhabitants, but if a place it's too far from another, it is better controlled by making a different Comune out of it (connecting the two could let you have a bigger amount of people together but that's not what we aim to do). We rather keep it small, let's say. Also to not mess up with the different identities on the territory (there could also be a different "dialect" spoken between two very close villages/Comuni).

Città Metropolitane: are some of the Capoluoghi di Provincia (but also di Regione) that have very important powers. They are all kinda big cities that are basically made of more different Comuni (districts) and work on them all as if they were one single thing.

The Città Metropolitane are Roma Capitale (Roma has often the noun "Capitale" in its name because it's Italy's capital city), Torino, Milano, Venezia, Genova, Bologna, Firenze, Bari, Napoli and Reggio Calabria, with the recent adds of Cagliari, Sassari, Palermo, Catania and Messina.
