	Fun quiz. Boy, some of those are difficult to spell.

	Kevin:	Oct 30th, 2008 at 17:12 GMT	4 points
	Bah, I knew all of these in eighth-grade Italian. Now, not so much.

	Thanks to years of playing Diplomacy, many of these were familiar to me. Nothing like sneaking into Marseilles from Piedmont!

	Chiaprofessor:	Oct 30th, 2008 at 17:42 GMT	2 points
	When I put in Tuscany, or Piedmont, they came up with the Italian spelling; but, not Sardinia.

	Scott: Works for me, either they fixed it already, or you spelled it wrong.

	LOL!! I got the islands and then in frustration I started writing Latin names. Erutria? Latium? Magna Graecia?

	Own up people. How many of you got Sicilia because of the Godfather?

	DirtyKash:	Oct 30th, 2008 at 21:19 GMT	3 points
	I can name the cities, not the regions. Ouch. A big 0/20 for me.

	abaris:	Oct 30th, 2008 at 21:42 GMT	3 points
	As a Slovenian, I'm glad to see that the author of the quiz didn't paint the city of Trst (Trieste) white. :)

	Being Italian and a lover of geography, I think this is the greatest quiz of all time.

	davidr:	Oct 31st, 2008 at 00:34 GMT	2 points
	@abaris: On the other hand, Vinjerac in Croatia is painted white.

	meltingbridge:	Oct 31st, 2008 at 04:26 GMT	4 points
	yeah, i only got the islands. time to study up on regions. how about one for spain?

	davidr:	Oct 31st, 2008 at 10:51 GMT	3 points
	@magister: `Erutria' should be `Etruria'. I know it's probably just a typo but I thought I'd mention it as I genuinely believed that Saturn's moon Enceladus was called `Encedalus' until I did the moons quiz the other day. :-)

	magister:	Nov 1st, 2008 at 17:12 GMT	3 points
	yeah, I noticed I typed that too. I figured I wouldn't address it unless someone else had. Thanks though! :)

	I'm embarrassed to admit Olive Garden commercials and The Princess Bride were responsible for my only correct answers.

	GeordieGuitarist:	Dec 1st, 2008 at 00:12 GMT	1 point
	All in 49 seconds! I do live in Italy though so an unfair advantage.

	Tony:	Dec 16th, 2008 at 04:11 GMT	7 points
	I may be the only guy under 20 in south New Jersey that can name all of these.

	foreverfreebird:	Dec 22nd, 2008 at 16:19 GMT	3 points
	Yay! This is a great quiz, although I too live in Italy so I have a bit more incentive to know them. Thanks for accepting the Italian names and for displaying them as such; I never would have remembered all the English versions.

	Look at the map! The city of Trieste is left grey, but it belongs to Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia).

	ya i got 4

	newenglander:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 14:04 GMT	2 points
	i keep typing in Friulia instead of friuli

	melissa:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 03:42 GMT	7 points
	Fun! But shouldn't it accept "Le Marche" as well as just "Marche"? And for consistency's sake, how about accepting "Marches" and "The Marches" as well, since other anglicized forms like Tuscany and Lombardy are OK?

	Auguste:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	3 points
	Great quizz despite difficulties of spelling. What about the same for France, UK, Belgium, Brazil or South Africa ?

	foreverfreebird:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 03:23 GMT	7 points
	I agree with Melissa that "Le marche" should be accepted. That's how we always referred to it, and I've worked at a kids' camp there the last two summers. In the Italian language, you would never say just "Marche."

	Esme:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	3 points
	It appears that the "Le Marche" problem still hasn't been fixed, because I didn't get it. Any update, @SporcleAdmin?

	I'm learning Italian, and i got all the answers on this. So i'm proud of myself! : )

	easy!

	ohil:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 12:07 GMT	-1 points

	midwesterndiva:	May 26th, 2010 at 02:07 GMT	1 point
	Thank you, two semesters of Italian, for 20/20.

	insaneular:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz.... I'm ashamed that I only got 15/20.

	girdyourloins:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 02:31 GMT	-1 points
	1/20... :( alls i knew was sicila because michael cera told the jersey shore cast that his father came from there. embarassinggg

	fifteenkeys:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 18:25 GMT	3 points
	Le Marche still isn't accepted, which makes this Marchigiano-Americano sad.

	31195:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 14:10 GMT	0 points
	You should allow "Südtirol" for Trentino-Alto Adige.

	ahamilton:	May 18th, 2011 at 14:26 GMT	0 points
	I tried "Trentino" and "South Tirol" and neither was accepted. Can they be allowed?

	samcash13593:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 17:26 GMT	1 point
	damnit all i tried lombardi, and then i figured it would have some kind of ending, so i typed lombardio and then gave up. damn it all. i was so close.

	I there any reason Elba is greyed out?

	qtowndogg:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 14:51 GMT	0 points
	I visited there for the first time this past July. What a beautiful country! Got to see Palermo (Sicily), Naples, Capri, Sorrento, Pompeii, Rome, and Pisa. I would love to travel back there again someday (and the Trevi Fountain promises to make that happen!).

	FujiMouse:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 16:00 GMT	1 point
	I knew the islands and Tuscany...
