In which region do most people live in Italy?

Italy is divided into 20 regions, from Trentino-Alto Adige in the north to Sicily in the south. Most Italians live in Lombardy, about 10 out of a total of about 60 million. In Italy's population, every 6th person comes from Lombardy. Italy's ten smallest regions together have as many inhabitants as Lombardy.

The three smallest regions in the country are Basilicata (half a million), Molise (just under 300,000 people) and Valle d'Aosta (120,000 inhabitants).
