Usage notes
- Use 'regione' for Italy’s 20 administrative regions (e.g., Toscana). 'Zona' is smaller, less official.
- Avoid 'area' for Italian regions—it’s too vague. 'Regione' is precise in political/geographic contexts.
- No plural form for Italy’s regions: 'le regioni' refers to multiple, but 'la Regione' can mean the regional government.
