Comune

A "Comune" is a fundamental administrative division in Italy, similar to a municipality or town. It serves as the basic unit of local government, responsible for various services like urban planning, public safety, education, and social services. Each comune is governed by a mayor and a council elected by residents. There are thousands of comuni across Italy, ranging from large cities to small villages, each reflecting the local culture and community's needs. The concept emphasizes local autonomy and governance tailored to the specific aspirations of its citizens.
