You may have noticed two letter abbreviations after a city name in some of my posts. Italy uses a system of two letter abbreviations to identify the province in which a village/town/city is located. Verona for example is typivally identified as Verona (VR) which signifies the city of Verona in the province of Verona. Below are the two letter abbreviations of all the provinces in Italy:
