Contrada (plural: ''contrade'') is a generic name given to various types of Italian city subdivisions, now unofficial. Depending on the case, a ''contrada'' will be a ''località'', a ''rione'', a ''quartiere'' (''terziere'', etc.), a ''borgo'', or even a suburb. The best-known ''contrade'' are the 17 ''Contrade'' of Siena, since they form the teams in the Palio di Siena, the palio most widely viewed by foreign visitors. In most of Lombardy, a ''contrada'' is only a street, but with historical and social importance. In some parts of Sicily ''contrada'' is a subdivision of a Comune, also administrative. In other parts, as in Lombardy, it may simply be a notable street. In Veneto, particularly near the Alpine foothills, ''contrà'' indicates a smaller hamlet in a rural area (a group of houses usually smaller than a ''frazione''); a synonym is ''colmel'' (Ital. ''colmello''); in some municipalities, mostly populated ''contrae'' are administered as neighbourhoods (Ital. ''quartieri''; e.g. in Bassano del Grappa, historical ''contrae'' Campese, Sant'Eusebio, Valrovina, San Michele and Marchesane have each a neighbourhood council); in Noale, ''contrae'' are the seven subdivision that compete in the local Palio. *In Vicenza, a ''contrà'' used to be a neighbourhood in the town centre, but now it replaces the noun ''via'' (street) in the old town. *In Venice, each ''sestiere'' was subdivided in ''contrade''. In Mantua ''contrada'' indicates a street in the old town In Florence a ''contrada'' is a street of secondary importance (it is not used officially, though) In the Marches and in the Republic of San Marino ''contrada'' indicates a street within an inhabited area (e.g. ''contrada del Collegio'' and ''contrada Omerelli'' in City of San Marino) ==See also== * Frazione * Località * Circoscrizione * Rione * *Rioni of Rome * Terziere * Quartiere * Sestiere 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Contrada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
