	having knowledge of Italian football is really helpful for this one!

	i was hoping corleone would be a bonus

	I'd like to thank Bill Shakespeare and the entire Renaissance period from the bottom of my heart. That one year of Italian I took on the other hand however, gets no thanks.

	When in Rome. That, uh, expression doesn't really apply to what I'm talking about. Oh, I still don't quite understand what it means

	I kept trying Reggina and Calabria, rather than Reggio di Calabria. 19/20.

	Che bello! Surprised Pisa wasn't on here. I kept getting distracted by the well-known (but small) tourist cities like Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Amalfi...

	Onno:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 20:03 GMT	15 points
	10/20. After a lot of the cities I have visited didn't work I got desperate enough to type things like Pompeii.

	The board game Here I Stand helped me with this quiz.

	Being an Italian student helps a bit on this... I love the Seinfeld reference

	Serie A didn't help me much. Apparently Lazio and Udinese are not large cities (or not cities at all). Shoulda gotten Genoa though.

	peanut4:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 23:51 GMT	5 points
	Definitely more of these please Sporcle.

	shakescene:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 00:45 GMT	4 points
	Thanks to Shakespeare for Verona, but how could I forget Padua? And isn't Reggio Calabria (which I tried) acceptable, as well as Reggio di Calabria? The latter got only 3.6% of respondents as I type this.

	curlykim:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	2 points
	My maiden name is Prato...

	smarty:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 07:45 GMT	-1 points
	I did pretty well for someone who hates the country. (Not really, just my football bias)

	spuntz:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 09:13 GMT	1 point
	I very much doubt that Venezia is the 11th biggest city in Italy. With a population of 60'000 it shouldn't even be on the list.

	LaTriviata:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 10:52 GMT	3 points
	I'm amazed that Venice is on the list. The smallish town in which I live has a bigger population.

	Etheridge2:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 11:44 GMT	3 points
	Parma and Pisa being so well known it surprised me that neither was in teh top 20, though i know very little of italy but I did get the top 8 including the top 8 and then 11, 12(Thanks willy shakes), and 18. Nice idea for a quiz I hope to see many more like it.

	Lilybert:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 12:10 GMT	6 points
	I live in Italy but I don't care at all about football - so I got only 11 :-P (Lazio is a region, Udine is the city actually. Reggio Calabria is indeed acceptable, infact it is more used than R. di C.)

	how come on the european populated cities quiz, rome is after naples and milan but on the italian populated cities quiz, rome is #1?

	math_teacher_mom:	Jul 19th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	2 points
	I got the cities I visited during my whirlwhind 9-countries-in-16-days trip a dozen years ago. Italy was my favorite of the 9.

	not again... :-(

	This quiz will be easier soon, when these will all be renamed to Berlusconia.

	squidgy:	Jul 19th, 2009 at 13:15 GMT	8 points
	Dear Sporcle, Please rename this quiz as "Cities of Italy." Then we can look up geography quizzes alphabetically and see what other "cities of ..." quizzes exist. (Like you've done with "capitals of ...", "flags of ..." These are great quizzes!

	Remembering the Industrial Triangle (in the North Italian Plain) from Geography lessons really helped here! 12/20 for me.

	GeoExpert:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	1 point
	Wow, spuigy that listened to you. They changed the name!

	PompeyDane:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 08:20 GMT	1 point
	Again my knowledge of football got me a decent result, 16/20. Missed Prato, Taranto, Reggio di Calabria and Modena. Was surprised to see Parma, Bergamo and Livorno not making the top 20 though.

	@iceberg cmon, its lazio roma...

	Idioteque:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 03:59 GMT	1 point
	@spuntz Venezia's got like 270k people, haha @iceberg well Lazio is based in Roma, and Udinese is Udine's team.

	kelil:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 17:03 GMT	1 point
	RE Venice, if you include the whole area of Venice ie. the centre, the islands and the mainland then there's about 270,000 people but the historical city only has about 60 thousand
