  • Western Pennsylvania is a region in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, covering the western third of the state. Pittsburgh is the region's principal city, with a metropolitan area population of about 2.4 million people, and serves as its economic and cultural center. Erie, Altoona, and Johnstown are its other metropolitan centers. As of the 2010 census, Western Pennsylvania's total population is nearly 4 million. Although the Commonwealth does not designate Western Pennsylvania as an official region, since colonial times it has retained a distinct identity not only because of its geographical distance from Philadelphia, the beginning of Pennsylvania settlement, but especially because of its topographical separation from the east by virtue of the Appalachian Mountains, which characterize much of the western region. The strong cultural identity of Western Pennsylvania is reinforced by the state supreme court holding sessions in Pittsburgh, in addition to Harrisburg and Philadelphia. (en)
  • La Pennsylvania occidentale è una regione geografica posizionata nella parte occidentale dello stato della Pennsylvania, negli Stati Uniti. Pittsburgh è la città principale della regione, con una popolazione dell'area metropolitana di circa 2,4 milioni di persone e funge da centro economico e culturale. Erie, Altoona e Johnstown sono i suoi altri centri metropolitani. Secondo il censimento del 2010, la popolazione totale della Pennsylvania occidentale era di quasi 4 milioni. Sebbene il Commonwealth non designi la Pennsylvania occidentale come una regione ufficiale, sin dai tempi coloniali ha conservato un'identità distinta non solo per la sua distanza geografica da Filadelfia, il primo insediamento della Pennsylvania, ma soprattutto per la sua separazione topografica dall'est in virtù dei monti Appalachi, che caratterizzano gran parte della regione occidentale. Nel XVIII secolo, questa separazione fece sì che alcuni proponessero la formazione di un 14º Stato in questa regione, chiamata Westsylvania. La forte identità culturale della Pennsylvania occidentale è rafforzata dalle sedi della Corte suprema di Stato a Pittsburgh, oltre a Harrisburg e Filadelfia. (it)
