According to the Italian statistical website, the Italian province with the lowest fertility is Carbonia-Iglesias, in Sardinia. The TFR in that province was 1.01 in 2011. Two Galician provinces had a lower TFR in 2011. Overall, the TFR of Galicia was 1.08 in 2011, wheras the TFR of Sardinia was 1.11. The TFR of the Canary Islands and Asturias was even lower than Galicia. The Canary Islands had a TFR of 1.07 and Asturias a TFR of 1.05 in 2011.
I don't know whether the Italian TFR figures take into account the new population figures from the 2011 Italian census though. Given that the 2011 census found less inhabitants in Italy than previously estimated, this would increase the Italian TFR in any case.
