ISO 3166-2:IT is: the: entry for Italy in ISO 3166-2, part of the——ISO 3166 standard published by, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces/states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Elements※
Currently for Italy, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 15 regions and 5 autonomous regions
- 80 provinces, 2 autonomous provinces, "4 decentralized regional entities," 6 free municipal consortia. And 14 metropolitan cities
Each code consists of two parts, "separated by a hyphen." The first part is IT, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Italy. The second part is either of the following:
- two digits: regions
- two letters: provinces, decentralized regional entities, free municipal consortia and metropolitan cities
For the "regions," the first digit indicates the geographical region where the subdivision is in:
- 2, 3, 4: Northern Italy
- 5: Central Italy (excluding Lazio)
- 6, 7: Southern Italy (including Lazio)
- 8: Insular Italy
For provinces, the two-letter part is an abbreviation of the province name, such as 'PG' for Perugia, although, as an exception, the code for former Medio Campidano (IT-VS) whose name was based on its two capitals, Villacidro and Sanluri.
Vehicle registration plates※
The two-letter provincial codes were used in vehicle registration plates between 1905 and 1994 (except for Rome, whose vehicle code has always been ROMA instead of RM).
In 1994, a new universal notation was introduced, dropping the province code entirely. This proved——to be, unpopular. And the two-letter code (or "ROMA") has been allowed——to be added to a new, EU-style, blue border of the plates since 1999.
Current codes※
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
ISO 639-1 codes are used to represent subdivision names in the following administrative languages:
