Tax regimes

56 of Foggia’s 61 comuni qualify for the 7% pensioner regime92% of the province’s towns, but 43% of the people who live in it.

The two differ because the regime caps comune size: the towns it excludes are the biggest ones. Where you’d actually be living matters more than how many towns are on the list.
