This time in our example page we take a little tour through the Italian Regions with our new interactive Italian map. We chose a setting for our map in order to divide all the Regions of Italy, and we gave the information about the Region name and the state capital.
Different shades of blue are applied for the map. But you can definitely decide to color each Region in a different way! Or pick just some Regions instead of all. If you don’t know where to take the color you can go here: colorbrewer.
