SUMMARY
In the ‘geo-country’ activity, several of the Italian regions and provinces are outdated or otherwise wrong. Here’s a list of problems that I’ve found (there may be others):

First, the top-level category ‘Districts of Italy’ lists regions, not districts. It should be renamed ‘Regions of Italy’: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Italy

And the level two categories ‘Districts of Northern Italy’, ‘Districts of Central Italy’ and ‘Districts of Southern Italy’ lists provinces and metropolitan cities, not districtits. It should be renamed to ‘Provinces and metropolitan cities of ...’ (can perhaps be shortened to just ‘Provinces of ...’ if necessary?).

Province issues:

Verbania should be Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Verbano-Cusio-Ossola).

Olbia-Tempio does not exist anymore. It’s now a part of Sassari.

Ogliastra does not exist anymore. *Most of it* is now a part of Nuoro.

Medio Campidano does not exist anymore. It is now a part of Sud Sardegna.

Carbonia-Iglesias does not exist anymore. It is now a part of Sud Sardegna.

Reggio Calabria (as a province) does not exist anymore. Is now replaced by the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria.

Bari (as a province) does not exist anymore. It is now replaced by the Metropolitan City of Bari.

Napoli (as a province, which BTW should be spelled *Naples* in English) does not exist anymore. It is now replaced by the Metropolitan City of Naples.

Actually, there are *14* old provinces that have now been turned into ‘Metropolitan Cities’. Here’s a list:

Note that I only kept one level for "main regions", as this is what the activity is about. There is no reason to have smaller "sub-regions" just for one country, and adding such "sub-regions" for all the countries would be too heavy to maintain and too big to ship by default. Probably in the future with the admin' interface and/or the downloadable localized dataset concept we can let users add their own more-detailed levels for their country, but for default content let's stick to "main regions".
