Padania is an area of Northern Italy. In the narrowest sense it is the valley of the River Po (In Latin, Padus); increasingly it has come to refer to a wider area, basically all of prosperous Northern Italy. This broader usage has been popularized in part by the Northern League (Lega Nord) a separatist northern Italian political party that uses the name Padania for the region it proposes to have secede from Italy.
A file-infecting computer virus from 1999 also bears the name Padania, and carries a pro-Padania message in its code. An earlier, significantly less important, MS-DOS computer virus is also named Padania.
