Answer 2

You have already got answers: Italy is divided in 20 regions (5 of them with special rules); usually, if you choice a public school, you have to go school according where you live (street or city district, not region).

Yes, regional legislature acts exist in Italy, but there nothing of comparable with USA.

Regional legislatures and boards decide about public funding and expenses, large works, environment and territory regulations,etc.

Civil rights, criminal system, tort and other rights along with court system are decided at national level in Italy. In this aspect, instead USA is a very peculiar country
