							| Please help.  I do not understand why  �the � is added 
before central but should be omitted before northern.  Thanks.   It is in the central Italy. It is in northern Italy. |  1 Jun 2013

							| The answer is that you can �t use "the" with central either! Your first sentence is wrong. It should read: It is in central Italy.
 It is in northern Italy.
 
 You can, however, say,
 It is in the centre of Italy, or in the north of Italy.

							| you can use "the" if you say:"in the central areas of Italy" or "in the central Italian areas"."In central Italy" is correct. |  2 Jun 2013
