Catalogue note: this is what we can document, not everything that qualifies. Where a zone is written in law as a whole province rather than a list of communes, we never expand it to towns, so a town missing here has not been ruled out. Plenty of comuni inside the wider zone also sit outside our catalogue of 1,000. See how the data is sourced.
