The title of "città" is not relevant to the classification of a place because it's an honorary title. Currently, this title "can be granted by decree of the President of the Republic on the proposal of the Minister of the Interior to the famous municipalities for memories, historical monuments and for the current importance" (Decreto legislativo 18 agosto 2000, n. 267, articolo 18). Once it has been granted, it won't be revoked. Some places has been granted this title since the Middle Ages. For a (incomplete?) list, see: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titolo_di_citt%C3%A0_in_Italia Regards, Andrea
