Rome, December 13, 2020 – In the most difficult year between contagion, deceased, economical crisis, emergency shutdown and quarantine is Bologna the first city for quality of life, according to the 31 Survey of the Sole 24 Ore on well-being in the territories, which this time intends to directly count the different impacts of the pandemic of Coronavirus in different areas of the country. Second is Bolzano me third Trento, which were able to maintain their positions even in the pandemic year, although they are now expected to experience a difficult winter for the mountain economy.
Covid in Italy, the newsletter of December 14
Bologna gains 13 places and manages a little all the provinces of Emilia Romagna. Five of the nine are among the top twenty: in addition to the capital, Parma (8), Forlì Cesena (14), Modena (15) and Reggio Emilia (17). So apart from these Bolzano and Trento, it is above all the North to get penalized by the large-scale effects of Coronavirus. the Lombardy provinces have a negative sign, getting worse compared to last year, except for Sondrio and Mantua. Also affected Milan – winner in both 2018 and 2019 – who loses 11 positions, which weighs the collapse of GDP per capita based on 2020 estimates, but also the new indicator on the average available living space (with an average of 51 square meters per family).
The crisis penalizes most touristy metropolitan areas, come Venice (33, 24 positions less), Rome (32, -14), Florence (27, -12) or Naples (92, -11). And the lack of tourists is also affected by spas: the provinces of Puglia and Sardinia (with the exception of Cagliari and Foggia), Rimini (36, losing 19 positions compared to last year), Salerno, Siracusa and Ragusa are getting worse. . In contrast, only the Liguria, all improving, where even Genoa (19) celebrates with a good performance the reopening of the viaduct over the Polcevera after the collapse of the Morandi bridge, recovering 26 positions.
To register “growth spurts”, ranking among the top ten, there are also other medium-sized provinces such as Verona (4, +3 positions), Udine (6, +10 who gets his best performance in Justice and Security) and Cagliari (9, +11, Queen of the Demographics and Health category). If the North falls, the South it does not rise in the ranking but remains at the end with the usual problems. This year Crotone closes the ranking, preceded by Caltanissetta, the latter last year.
In particular, Bologna it ranks first in Wealth and Consumption, fourth in Business and Labor, second in Environment and Services, third in Culture and Leisure. On the other hand it does not shine by Safety and management of justice (106): it is located in the lower part of the national ranking of complaints of theft, extortion, fraud, sexual violence, a common denominator of many university cities with a high presence of off-campus. As to South, metropolitan areas gain positions in the Demography and Health chapter, precisely because the virus has hit harder elsewhere, but they remain at the bottom of the other categories where structural gaps inherited from the past.
Regarding the impact of pandemic, the survey reveals the depth of the economic and social crisis, for now held at bay by buffers, contributions and state refreshments. Citizen income increases in large cities and in the south: in Milan, where checks are just under 13 per 1,000 inhabitants, 40.3% more were issued between December 2019 and August 2020. In Naples and Palermo there are 49 and 51.5 contributions per 1,000 inhabitants, an increase of 36% and 33.2%. On the other hand, between January and September 2020, the average hours of layoffs authorized in the national territory for each company increased by 5,975.21 percent, with the difficult situation in all the provinces of Italy. Some areas have increased social spending to cover needs such as home care and transportation for the elderly and disabled. According to the first data communicated to the Siope database, Bologna registered a per capita increase of 53.9% compared to the same period last year. However, there are territories in which, between January and June, social spending seems to have fallen significantly compared to the same period in 2019. Business dynamism, then, characterizes some territories that are more prone to seize opportunities even in the pandemic. In particular, in Lecco (+ 30.77%), Prato (+ 29.69%), Brindisi (+ 26.61%) and Matera (+ 26.23%) there was an increase in e-commerce companies, while that the startup boom is recorded in Imperia (+ 200%), Viterbo (+ 66.67%), Arezzo (+ 54.55%) and Siena (+ 50%).
In the country, gaps persist in thedigital evolution, which recorded unprecedented momentum and represented a lifeline for many sectors, becoming an increasingly important asset for the future. Among the first, we highlight Florence, awarded for the digital transformation index prepared by the PA Forum, while Viterbo leads the number of SPIDs provided per thousand inhabitants, Monza and Brianza for the participation of public organizations that depend on the unique Payment platform. Pa and, finally, Milan by the incidence of companies that do electronic commerce on the total.
