Process of territorial reform in Italy: Law n. 56/3 A PRIL 2014 (DELRIO) Delrio law establishes (Starting January 1, 2015), ten metropolitan cities: Turin, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Bari, Naples, Reggio Calabria and Rome Capital (which replace the existing provinces). Some others will follow later thanks to regional laws. Provinces becomes large area territorial entities, whose bodies are established through indirect election (by voting for mayors and councillors of provinces municipalities). The law simplifies and streamlines the process for the union and fusion of municipalities. The goal s of the territorial reform is to modernise institutions and to delegate more power to the levels of government directly controlled by the citizens, according to a common trend in the EU and in the most advanced countries.
