The 32nd edition of the survey on the quality of life in the Italian provinces, published today by ‘Il Sole 24 Ore’, rewards Trieste, which has already risen to fifth place in the annual ranking in the last two years. Furthermore, he returns to the podium Milano, after the slip out of the top ten in 2020 due to Covid e Trento remains solid in third place.

Specifically, the survey takes a picture of the country through 90 statistical indicators on a provincial basis divided into six areas: wealth and consumption, business and work, demographics, society and health, environment and services, culture and leisure.
The results of the survey show that among the top ten provinces, seven are from the Northeast: Bolzano (5ª), Pordenone (7ª), Verona (8ª) e Udine (9ª) which confirm their liveability e Treviso (10th) is the only new entry, also thanks to the primacy in the ‘Quality of life of women’, the index presented for the first time this year to focus on gender issues in the post-pandemic recovery.

Also confirmed in the top ten Aosta (4ª) e Bologna (6th). The Emilian capital, in the lead in the 2020 edition, drops a few positions but wins the first place in ‘Demography, society and health’ above all thanks to the high levels of education of the population.

The Lombard provinces are all regaining different positions compared to last year, with the exception of Sondrio. In 2020 the region, more than other territories, had been particularly penalized by the impact of the health emergency, measured for example by the collapse of GDP per capita following the lockdown and by health data (mortality and infections in the first place). And today Milan returns to the top in the items ‘Wealth and consumption’ and ‘Business and work’, ranking first, among other things, for house prices, average annual salary, the incidence of businesses that do e-commerce and the spread of online banking services.

The gradual overcoming of the pandemic crisis, the Sole 24 Ore study again highlights, relaunches other metropolitan cities: Roma rises from 32nd to 13th place, Florence from 27th to 11th, Bari (71ª) gains a position, while Naples (90ª) earns two.

The capital, in particular, enters the top ten in the ‘Quality of life of the elderly’, one of the three generational indices that debut this year in the survey and is distinguished by levels of education, buildings covered by broadband and museum heritage. In contrast, however, Cagliari, Turin, Genoa and Catania which all lose some position compared to 2020.
