# Airport codes in Italy

2 airports in Italy, with the origin of each code rather than just its expansion.

| Code | Airport | City | Where the code comes from |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| FCO | Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport | Rome | FiumiCinO, the town it sits in, not Rome and not Leonardo. |
| MXP | Milan Malpensa Airport | Milan | Milan malXPensa — from Malpensa, the heath it was built on, whose name means roughly "ill-thought-of". |
