Editing Lombardy (section)

===Administrative divisions===
Lombardy is divided into 1,502 ''[[comuni]]'' (the region with the largest number of ''comuni'' in the entire national territory<ref name="comuni"/>), distributed in twelve administrative subdivisions (eleven [[Provinces of Italy|provinces]] plus the [[Metropolitan City of Milan]]). The largest province is that of [[Province of Brescia|Brescia]], the smallest that of [[Province of Monza and Brianza|Monza and Brianza]]. The [[exclave]] of [[Campione d'Italia]] also belongs to the region, a ''comune'' entirely surrounded by [[Switzerland|Swiss territory]] and part of the [[province of Como]].
