Italian dialects (in Italian dialetti italiani) are varieties of standard Italian, whereas Dialects of Italy (in Italian Dialetti d'Italia) are unrecognized languages, such as Sicilian, Vèneto, Piedmontese, spoken in Italy whose grammar, syntaxis and vocabulary are very different from standard Italian but which have not been officially given the status of languages.
Thus, from a linguistic point of view, many "dialects of Italy" are true languages split into different varieties, i.e. "true" dialects: for example Vèneto is divided into Venetian (spoken in Venice, western Veneto), Veronese (eastern Veneto), Trevisan (Treviso province o Veneto), Feltrin-Belunese (northern Veneto) and Central-Veneto (spoken in Padua-Vicenza-Rovigo).
