It’s based on 103 territorial units until 2005, on 107 units since 2006, the current classification including the new Sardinian provinces of  Olbia-Tempio, Ogliastra, Medio Campidano and Carbonia-Iglesias. Further information on the territorial classification can be achieved consulting the codes of Italian municipalities, provinces and regions.
