An admin_level 8 entity in Italy is a "Comune" which is something like a municipality, and which very often has several places inside (cities, towns, villages, etc.) one of which is generally the main place or "capital" (in Italian: capoluogo http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoluogowhich translates in Wikipedia to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef-lieu which is not exactly the same but a close fit and describing the phenomenon). cheers, Martin
