what is the region
|
| |
The Italian Republic is divided for administrative purposes into twenty autonomous regional authorities,
whose powers and functions are established by the Constitution.
Article 5 of the Constitution states: "The Republic, one and indivisible, recognises and promotes
local autonomy; in the services which depend on the State, it puts the broadest administrative
decentralisation into practice, adapts the principles and methods of its legislation to the
requirements of autonomy and decentralisation".

the functions of the region
|
| |
The Region is an autonomous body with its own legislative, administrative and executive
functions. It does not have jurisdictional competence (the competence to judge according
to law).
The constitutive elements of the Region are its territory, within which it carries out
its functions, its population and its juridical personality (i.e. it has its own assets
and its own budget).
The laws of the Region must not be in contrast with the Constitution, with the laws
of the State, with the provisions of its own statute, with the laws and interests
of the other Regions.
For this reason the action of the Region is subjected to controls by the State.
