Overview
- Milano leads the ItaliaOggi/Ital Communications 2025 index for the second year running on services, income and infrastructure, yet ranks last for security among 107 provinces.
- Bolzano places second and Bologna rises to third, while Monza e Brianza slips and provinces such as Rimini and Ascoli Piceno record large gains.
- Rome drops five spots to 29th overall, sliding to 104th for crimes and security and to 41st for social safety, even as income and wealth improve to 39th and tourism holds at fourth.
- The study underscores the persistent regional gap, with many southern provinces under strain and the bottom ranks occupied by Caltanissetta (107th), Crotone (106th) and Reggio Calabria (105th), as Foggia falls to 104th.
- Only 60 of 107 provinces are rated good or acceptable, and new or revised measures—such as NEET rates, drug- and alcohol-related mortality, road homicide rates and prison overcrowding—affect comparability with 2024.
