Example

Italy regions quiz: 20 regions, 19 capitals to place, and the T and P look-alikes

A traveller planning a rail trip from Turin to Palermo learns the regions the evening before. “Find the place” asks the 20 regions in random order; “Find it from its capital” asks 19, all but Aosta Valley, whose capital Aosta gives it away; “Choose the capital” lights each region and offers four capitals.

  1. Each question offers the right capital, two of the six nearest regions’ capitals and one with the same first letter; where there is none (Milan, Rome, Naples…), any other.
  2. Classic misses: L’Aquila for Abruzzo (not Pescara) and Catanzaro for Calabria (not Reggio Calabria); Trentino-South Tyrol is one region here, with Trento.
  3. Aosta Valley and Molise are the smallest, about 50 pixels across in an 800-pixel-wide quiz: easy on a laptop, Zoom in on a phone.

The round ends “Done! 18/20 in 1:36”, say, with the regions missed listed; “Practise the ones I missed” replays them. Names are in English on this page (Piedmont, Apulia, Tuscany); the Italian page asks Piemonte, Puglia, Toscana.

How it works

  1. Choose whether to find the regions or find them from their capitals.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Are Sicily and Sardinia included?
Yes — all 20 regions, the islands included.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Why is Aosta Valley not asked from its capital?
Its capital, Aosta, is in the region’s name, so “Find the one whose capital is Aosta” would give it away. The other 19 are asked, and “Choose the capital” asks all 20.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
