Bologna is the Italian city with the best quality of life. This is clear from the 2020 quality of life survey conducted also this year by Sole 24 Ore who conducted a 2020 quality of life survey in different Italian cities. Crotone wins the black jersey instead. The Emilian capital gained 13 positions compared to 2019, preceeding Bolzano, who remains second, and Trento, who is confirmed third, on the podium.
Quality of life, how to read the ranking
The objective of the survey of the economic newspaper is to photograph the complexity of life in the Italian provinces and, for this year, to tell how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the territories in a different way. 90 indicators are analyzed, divided into six macro categories: wealth and consumption; business and work; environment and services; demographics and health; justice and security and culture and leisure. To measure the ongoing health emergency, first of all, the rate of Covid cases detected per thousand inhabitants was included among the parameters, the only index that was more weighted (in practice, if each parameter is 1/90 °, the points of this ranking are worth twice the total average) to show how the spread of infections has put different pressure on health systems, people’s lives and everyday life.
Covid weighs on northern cities
And in this sense, the ranking clearly highlights how it is especially the cities of the North, that is, those in which there has been a greater spread of Covid, the most penalized: Milan, for example, loses first place in the ranking and falls by 11 positions, Brescia falls 27 (finishing in 39th place), Bergamo in 24 (52nd) and Monza and Brianza even fall 55 places (61st). Despite the collapse of GDP per capita and the average living space available (one of the new indicators linked to the pandemic).
The top ten
Beyond the podium (Bologna, Bolzano and Trento), in the top ten we find Verona, which, compared to 2019, gains three positions and moves to fourth place. Trieste is still fifth. Udine remains in sixth place, recovering ten positions compared to last year. Seventh Aosta that drops three positions in the classification in one year. Eighth Parma, recovering two steps in the ranking. In ninth place Cagliari recovered 11 positions. In tenth place, Pordenone, three places more than in 2019.

Last Crotone, the crisis hits the tourist cities
At the bottom of the ranking, the last Crotone slides to position 107. It precedes Caltanissetta 106 and Syracuse 105. Decreeing the negative record are elements that have always been present but that the pandemic has made even more evident: a fragile economic fabric, Structural deficiencies in public services, a slow and inadequate bureaucratic system. But the Coronavirus crisis penalizes the most touristy metropolitan areas, such as Venice (33º, 24 places down), Rome (32º, -14), Florence (27º, -12) or Naples (92º, -11). And the lack of tourists is also affected by the spas: the provinces of Puglia and Sardinia are getting worse (except Cagliari and Foggia), Rimini (36 °, losing 19 positions compared to last year), Salerno, Siracusa and Ragusa
