Seeking administrative divisions shapefile for Italy?

Question

I am looking for administrative divisions' shapefile for Italy for QGIS. I found one which is a bit old with some inconsistencies.

Can anyone please suggest a database to find better (or newer) shapefiles?

Welcome to GIS:SE @Arbo94! Perhaps this post might help: Where to get up to date Italian administrative boundaries? or you can try downloading some administrative shapefiles from DIVA-GIS =) — Joseph, Dec 14 '16 at 09:41

You may download the data using the "WFS Services" of the National Geoportal, following this link:

Catalog Service WFS - The National Geoportal

and using the URL from "Unita' amministrative regionali, provinciali e comunali".

You may have a look at the GADM database, but sometimes shapefiles have inaccuracies too

Thank you all! I had used all these websites before I wrote here. The thing is that Italy has changed its administrative boundaries in 2016, and there is not a (free?!) shapefile map in the internet of the new boundaries.
