Map of Italy: four layers, four counts

Four layers sit on this map, each with a verified count: 62 UNESCO World Heritage properties, 24 national parks with an operational management body, 257 Blue Flag comuni, and the airports that handled 230,080,945 passengers in 2025.

What each count actually counts

The 62 UNESCO properties are inscriptions, not sites on the ground: a serial property listed across several regions counts once, which is why a map of components would show more pins than the official total. The 24 national parks are those with a working management body, the same set the environment ministry georeferences.

Blue Flags in 2026 went to 257 coastal comuni, covering 525 beaches and 87 marinas, in the fortieth edition of the programme. The award attaches to the comune, so a Blue Flag town can have both awarded and unawarded stretches of shore.

The airport layer has two totals

Italian airports handled 230,080,945 passengers in 2025 according to the operators' figures collected by Assaeroporti, up 5.0% on 2024, while ENAC counts 229,740,554 for the same year on a slightly different perimeter. Both numbers are official and both are on the page, because picking one would hide the difference in method.

The layer marks where the traffic actually lands, which is not where most itineraries assume it does.

The ZTL map is separate

Traffic zones sit on their own map, because there is no national register behind them: the data is municipal, ordinance by ordinance, and the coverage is uneven by definition. Mixing them into this one would suggest the same completeness for both.

What loads, and when

There is no commercial tile provider behind this map, and no third-party script runs before you allow it. The counts come from the same fact ledger that every sentence on this site resolves to, so a change in a number changes the map and the text together.

FAQ

How many UNESCO sites does Italy have?

62 properties on the World Heritage List, which is the count this map draws. Serial properties spread over several regions are one property, not several, so a map with more pins than 62 is counting components rather than inscriptions.

How many Blue Flag beaches are there in Italy?

525 beaches in 2026, awarded across 257 coastal comuni, together with 87 marinas. The award goes to the comune, not to the whole coast, and the 2026 edition was the fortieth, with 14 new entries and 3 comuni not reconfirmed.

How many national parks can I visit in Italy?

24 have an operational management body, and those are the ones georeferenced on the environment ministry's own map. The ministry's written list is longer, because it includes parks with provisional boundaries and one that was established but never made operational.

Does this map load Google Maps?

No. There is no commercial tile provider behind it and no third-party script that runs before you allow it, which is the reason the base map looks plain. The four layers are drawn from the same fact ledger as the text on every other page.
