Change at the top of the quality of life ranking. A kind of relay between the first and second: this year Pordenone takes the podium, followed by Trento. In the queue, however, Foggia slips. These are the main changes registered in the annual ranking of ItaliaOggi and La Sapienza University of Rome, now in its 22nd edition and which this year also takes into account the ongoing pandemic. The provinces most affected by the first wave of the pandemic are in fact those that are losing the most positions in the general ranking. Bergamo falls from 26th last year to 40th this year. Lodi has returned for 37 positions, Milan for 16, Piacenza for 41, Cremona even for 46. The methodology used in the investigation seems to have been able to immediately capture at least the direct consequences of the pandemic.
The quality of life was good or acceptable in 60 of the 107 Italian provinces. The data also suggests that around 42.5% of the Italian population, about 44% last year, lives in areas characterized by poor or insufficient quality of life. The group of provinces characterized by an insufficient level of quality of life is made up this year exclusively by provinces of southern Italy and the islands. This means that the quality of life of more than 60.1% of the population residing in the South is below acceptable levels.
Regarding the first positions, after the two provinces, there are two new entries: Vicenza (was 14) and Padua (11). But the highest jump is in Ascoli Piceno: from 37 to fifth place. On the other hand, examining the basic positions, Crotone remains stable above Foggia, while Agrigento climbs two notches. As for Foggia, it is in last place. Large urban areas disappoint: to find Milan you have to go down to position 45 (it was 29); Rome is in 50th place (but up from 76), Turin in 64 (from 49) Naples is in the queue (103, it was third from last).

They are followed by Nuoro, Treviso and Oristano, which in turn confirm their presence in the highest areas of the ranking. Rimini closes the ranking in the last position for the third consecutive year.
SOCIAL SECURITY: This year includes useful indicators to capture the effect caused by the current pandemic crisis such as the variation in mortality and the incidence of registered cases of Covid-19. The province that opens the ranking this year is Imperia, with a jump of 89 positions, followed by Benevento, Ascoli Piceno and Fermo. The southern provinces are once again included in the leading group, reversing a trend that has been consolidated in the last seven editions. In the rear Bergamo, Lodi, Sondrio and Cremona.
