The ranking is based on assessments of 90 parameters, grouped in six macro categories: wealth and consumption; business and employment; justice and security; demography and society; environment and services; culture and leisure.
In 2024, Bergamo was the most livable province in Italy, according to the annual study conducted by the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore. Trento and Bolzano followed in the ranking. Among the top-15 provinces, only Ascoli Piceno and Siena are located in central Italy, while all others are in the north, confirming the deep north-south divide between these two areas of the country. As far as macro categories are concerned, Biella, located in Piedmont, recorded the best score in wealth and consumption, while Milan for business and employment. Ascoli Piceno was the best province in terms of security and justice, and Bolzano performed very well in demography and society. Lastly, for environment and services, Brescia ranked at the top, whereas citizens could enjoy at best their leisure and cultural activities in Trieste.
