A title set in more than one region is on the row of each, so the Titles column above totals 3,747 against the 3,225 that say where they are set.

Share of allShare of the top 200

The second figure is the share among the 200 most looked-up, so a region can hold a different share of each: Trentino-Alto Adige rises from 0.8% to 2%, and Liguria falls from 2.6% to 1%. Counted on where a title is set, never on where it was shot — otherwise Il Gattopardo lands in Lazio for its Roman studio days and La vita è bella leaves Tuscany. One region has no series set in it at all. Shares add to more than a hundred because a title set in two regions counts in both, and the two regions under ten titles are greyed: one title moving in or out of the top 200 swings the figure too far for it to mean anything.
