Italy is divided into Regions (e.g. Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio) which are subdivided into Provinces named after the major cities (e.g. Florence, Arezzo, Siena). These are then subdivided into administrative areas known as Comuni (Communes) named after a principal town. Each Comune consists of various Frazioni, usually named after a village. Our house is in the Comune di Reggello, and the Frazione is the village of Cascia. This page gives a range of statistics about the Comune as well as some of the events and facilities to be found within it. Please note that this information has not been officially checked with the authorities, but has been extracted from various websites, publications etc. It may therefore be subject to error for which the Comune di Reggello is not in any way responsible.
