  1. There appears to be significantly more muscle in the calves, than in the feet.

  2. Polentoni v Terroni
    Rich North v Mezzogiorno South
    “The North works, the South spends”

    A tale of two countries united in one. l’Italia.

  3. What it lacks in wealth, the South makes up in food.

  4. I guess this is strongly correlated with housing prices in the various regions?

  5. What are the major factors?

    – Organized crime?

    – Geographical separation, being a periphery?

    – Climate/resources?

    – History?

    All of them? I am interested to learn more.

  6. Imagine how wealthy Italy could be if it properly managed to bring southern Italy up to northern levels.

  7. Going off topic, are Italian provinces roughly equivalent to departments in France or kreis/bezirk in Germany (at the German state level)?

  8. Most personal wealth is due to house ownership. So this is basically a map of housing prices.
