	Italy
		The Vulture volcanic region to the east of the Apennines is not allied to the Tyrrhenian volcanic region.
		The territorial boundaries of this region are the coasts of the Ionian Sea, as far as the mouth of the Bradano, this river and its tributary the Basentiello, the Saddle of Spinazzola, the Locone, the crest of the Apennines and that of the mountains of Capitanata as far as the mouth of the Biferno.
		In peninsular and in insular Italy the winter rains, on the contrary, are heaviest, and the absence of drainage causes the waters that overflow from the river-beds to inundate the lowlands of the coast and thereby to develop malaria.

	Separation of church and state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Churches and religious communities, if they are large, stable and loyal to the constitution, can get special status from the state as a "corporation under public law" which allows the churches to levy taxes called Kirchensteuer (literally church tax) on their members.
		This special relation between the Greek State and the Orthodox Church has come about for historical reasons and long-established tradition, many Greeks attributing the preservation of Greek national identity during the 400 years of Ottoman occupation to the Orthodox Church.
		However, some claim that since they achieved majoritarian status in some regions of the country (predominantly Utah and Idaho) they have softened that stance and have sought increased government sanction in those regions while maintaining their separationist policy in areas where they remain a minority.

	HUNSOR ~ Hungarian Swedish Online Resources
		Autonomous status may be applied to various systems of political organisation, ranging from straightforward decentralisation in unitary states to a genuine division of powers, either symmetrically or asymmetrically, in regional or federal states.
		Autonomous status must always be tailored to the geography, history and culture of the area concerned, and to the very different characteristics of specific cases and conflict zones.
		For example, the statute of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is based on a special law of 29 April 1992, the adoption of which required the revision of Article 75 of the Ukrainian constitution.

		The regional composition of the country is being reinforced by extending the role of the Regions set up under Law 1622/86, which, in addition to planning, scheduling and coordinating development, are becoming the decentralizad units of state administration.
		One of the special regions, the Trentino-Alto Adige, has delegated almost all its legislative and administrative powers and financial resources to the two component provinces of Trento and Bolzano (Bozen), which, although called autonomous provinces, must be considered for all intents and purposes special statute regions in their own right.
		Probably the most important institutional event in Italy after the enforcement of the republican Constitution in 1948 has been the creation of the ordinary statute regions in 1970 Although provided by the Constitution, it took more than twenty years for a political consensus to be reached on their realisation.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Statute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A statute is a formal, written law of a country or state, written and enacted by its legislative authority, perhaps to then be ratified by the highest executive in the government, and finally published.
		In many countries, published statutes are organized in topical arrangements called codes, such as the Civil Code of Quebec or the United States Code.
		The term statute is sometimes also used to refer to an international treaty that establishes an institution, such as the Statute of the European Central Bank (a protocol to the Treaty of Maastricht).

		Italy believed it could fulfil this obligation with the issue of an Autonomous Statute, adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 31 January 1948.
		Even the few autonomous powers that existed scarcely had any effect (partly because the Executive Measures for the Statute were not issued) so that the impatience and disappointment of the South Tyrolese continued to grow: in 1957 the first bombings occurred; on 15 November 1957 a big protest demonstration took place at Schloss Sigmundskron.
		With this statute the powers of the Region and the Provinces were redefined, with the powers of the two Provinces substantially increased in comparison with the past.

		There are a number of transboundary agreements between Italy and neighbouring states concerning the management of adjacent border parks: Gran Paradiso National Park was formally twinned with Vanoise National Park in France in 1972, in an action that led to the expansion of their common borders from 6 to 14km.

		The eastern coast of Italy, and the Gulf of Venice leading round to the border with Yugoslavia, form the northern and western edges of the Adriatic Sea; to the south there is the Ionian Sea.

		Regional government is not a ready-made solution to regional economic divergence One element of the regional debate in England stresses the role that regional government could play in redressing regional economic divergence between North and South.
		In Italy for example, there is some salience to the view that enhanced autonomy has fuelled the political debate, especially in the Northern Italian regions, about the logic of redistributive fiscal transfers on a territorial basis, which in the past have been important in ameliorating regional inequalities.
		Regional prefects are the departmental prefects in the département representing the region's capital.

	Book Review
		As you know, Sicily is one of five of the twenty regions of Italy that has been granted a special Statute that gives it virtual autonomy in practically all areas of government, except naturally such areas as defense, foreign affairs and others that are the responsibility of the Italian state in Rome.
		To quell the movement for Sicilian independence from Italy, and in recognition of the different culture and traditions of Sicily, the Italian State granted wide powers to the Region through the special Statute, which was signed in 1947, even before the new republican Constitution of Italy in 1948.
		The authors found that the Autonomy Statute which held out such high promises for bringing Sicily into the 20th century has been watered down through the interference of the State bureaucracy and the central powers in Rome to the extent that Sicilians themselves are disillusioned by it and see no need for it.

	Euromosaic - Friulian in Italy
		The spread of the Venetian dialect and the increasing involvement of the region in Italian national cultural life have continued to have a negative effect on the characteristics of Friulian.
		From the point of view of current support for Friulian, the regional authorities seem to be aware of their limited jurisdiction in this area, but have nevertheless issued a number of regulations on the protection and use of Friulian language and culture (Regional Law 68/1981).
		The continuing decline in the language is undoubtedly due to the inadequate use of Friulian in institutions despite the provisions of the Autonomous Statute of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the inadequate use of the language in key social areas to which this leads.

	The Assyrian Statehood: Yesterday’s Denial and Today’s Moral Obligation
		When all was set and done, the report of the League of Nations special Commission to Mosul gave Hakkari region to Turkey in exchange for a territory in north of Mosul that was to become an autonomous home for the Assyrians.
		When the Special Commission conducted a voting among the population of Mosul regarding whether they preferred to be under a Turk or Arab rule, the Assyrians were one of the main reasons why Mosul was rewarded to Iraq because the Assyrians have refused to be under Turkish rule.
		The levy flushed north of Iraq region from the sporadic Kurdish insurrection and the expulsion of the Turkish irregulars in 1923.

		The reign of the Mamelukes from 1250 to 1516 not only put an end to the existence of Frankish possessions in the East, but was itself a crucial period for the Christian communities; persecutions, destruction and massacres were their almost daily lot.
		It was during the reign of these slaves invested with authority that the number of Christians went sharply down, with whole regions either Islamized or emptied of their population.
		In other words, the Statute accepted by the Ottoman rulers recognizing the Patriarch as the head of the "Nation of Catholic Pilgrims" (Roum Kâtholik milleti) remains in force.
