Italy is a country on the Mediterranean coast of Europe, consisting of a boot-shaped peninsula (the boot shape being caused by the Gulf of Taranto) and a number of islands, the largest of which are Sicily and Sardinia.[1] Its comune of Mirto may have contained a wizarding community of note, as the Daily Prophet reported on this community's weather in its International section.

Magical government

Italy was governed by a Ministry of Magic[2]

History

A sub-committee of sorcerers from the island of Sardinia did something of note in September of 1289. Professor Cuthbert Binns mentioned this during a lecture on the International Warlock Convention of 1289 he gave to his second-year History of Magic students in 1992.[5]
