The smaller towns and villages of Italy are where the country's traditions are kept alive while modernity and change run through cities. Italy's hill towns built in defensive positions and the villages with their close-knit communities are what makes Italy so special.
Many of the towns were of huge importance in previous eras of history or may still be flourishing in modern times such as the impressive mountain towns in the northern Alpine regions of Italy. The main towns or municipalities in Italy are called comuni (plural) and there are just under eight thousand of them. The very best of those are detailed here in a dozen different categories. |
