Fractions

The fraction in the Italian administrative geography is an administrative entity belonging to a municipality, consisting of "an area of the municipal territory comprising, as a rule, an inhabited center, as well as inhabited nuclei or scattered houses gravitating to the center"; This gravitation exists when the inhabitants of the scattered nuclei and houses are attracted to the center, that is, they want to contribute to it for reasons of supply, worship, education, work, business and the like; in rare cases a fraction can also belong to two or more different municipalities It can also be a territorial district - The layer was acquired by aggregating the ISTAT census sections in order to obtain the perimeters of the individual fractions of Modena.
