Would the city Trent really be inside that province?
I think Trent is fine there. Verona is not up there. Verona is more where Mantua province/west Veneto currently sits. The only other possible name for Trent would be Brescia or Bergamo. That would make it a province for for Milan & Venice to fight over.
Also, if keeping it Trent, I would slice away that little southwestern toe (which is too close to where Bergamo/Brescia sits) and give it to Lombardy.
On Lombardy: surely there's space to split it diagonally (sw-ne) into two provinces, Milan on the northwest, Cremona on the southeast half. That would give Milan two provinces there. And for those with Medieval scenarios, the eternal Milan vs. Cremona rivalry could finally be modelled in.
(alternative to Cremona would be Brescia, thus making that where Milanese & Venetians would fight over).
Ideally (if it was clickable), I'd actually consider splitting Lombardy into three (a Mercedes-sign type split), with Milan in the northwest (bulked up with a sliver from too-fat Piedmont), Brescia in the northeast (bulked up with that toe from Trent) and Cremona in the southeast (probably big enough).

I know it sounds crazy, but would it really be completely unclickable? Now
that would give Medievalists an orgasm!
I think your arguement for Pisa isnt good enough. Florence would be too big, and making the other provinces larger is almost necessary somehow.
I like Pisa. Pisa is good. Pisa is important and should be revoltable. It wasn't always ruled by Florence even in the EU2 timeframe. It regained independence for a stretch until 1509 and was lost to Spain in 1557 for another stretch.
The only modification I'd make in that area is to expand Parma & Emilia south a bit at the expense of Pisa & Florence, so that they're all clickable. Certainly the northern bit of Florence can be shaved off with little loss.
(and if Pisa is slightly jutted down, Siena could be forced to lose a little coastline. You can think of it as the Gheradesca & Piombino coasts that Florence took/Siena lost. Aesthetically-speaking, Siena doesn't look like Siena right now. Too much coastline relative to interior, when in fact her coastline was smaller than her interior. When Florence acquires Pisa, Florence should form a croissant-shaped wrap around Siena's north. )
P.S. - I'm not getting my Ferrara, am I?

Oh well. Well, if Marche is not going to be shortened, than I suppose it would be aesthetically proper to restore the Umbrian lick back to Lazio.
