Behind the first two, follow Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Tuscany and Valle d’Aosta. On the contrary, the regions of the South (together with Lazio) are all positioned below the reference value (equal to 100), highlighting how it is more difficult for mothers to live in some of these. Basilicata (19th place), Calabria (20th place), Campania (21st place) and Sicily (17th place) have alternated in the last positions for years. This year there is also Puglia (18th place). (HANDLE).
