Where is the Northern dialect spoken in Italy?

Italian Dialects -Septentrional or Northern

Northern dialects or the Septentrional are divided into two main groups:
The Gallo-Italic group is the largest of these geographically and encompasses the regions of Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy, and Emilia-Romagna, as well as parts of Trentino-Alto Adige. It is named for the Gauls which once inhabited this part of Italy, and who, it seems, left traces of their Celtic speech in the modern dialects. The Venetic group is the next largest. Its borders loosely follow the region of Veneto.
