ITALY Economic Trends in Regions http://www.oecd.org/regional Regions and Cities at a Glance 2018 – ITALY Economic trends in regions Regional gap in GDP per capita, 2000-16 Index of regional disparity in GDP per capita, 2016 Top 20 % richest over bottom 20% poorest regions GDP per capita in USD PPP 2016 2000 Ratio 4 55 000 Small regions Large regions (TL3) (TL2) 50 000 Highest region 45 000 Bolzano-Bozen 3 40 000 51 567 USD 35 000 Italy 30 000 33 537 USD 2 25 000 20 000 Lowest region Calabria 15 000 1 10 000 20 323 USD 2000 2005 2010 2016 Country (number of regions considered) The already large regional economic disparities in Italy have slightly increased over the last sixteen years. In the province of Bolzano-Bozen the level of GDP per capita was two and a half times higher than in Calabria in 2016. With a productivity growth of 0.2% per year over the period 2000-16, Bolzano-Bozen experienced the highest productivity growth among Italian regions, much below the OECD average of 1.1% in the same period. With a negative productivity growth of -1% per year in Molise, the gap with Bolzano-Bozen has widened further, especially since 2010. Notwithstanding a small improvement in recent years, youth unemployment rate in Calabria is still among the highest in the OECD area, with over 55% of youths unemployed. Youth unemployment rates above 50% are also observed in Apulia, Campania and Sicilia, while the province of Bolzano-Bozen shows the lowest rate in the country (10% in 2017).

Notes: (1) Figure on regional gap in GDP per capita: OECD regions refer to the administrative tier of subnational government (large regions, Territorial Level 2); Italy is composed of 21 large regions. (2) Figure on index of regional disparity: top (bottom) 20% regions are defined as those with the highest (lowest) GDP per capita until the equivalent of 20% of national population is reached, this indicator provides a harmonised measure to rank OECD countries, using data for small regions (Territorial Level 3) when available. (3) Productivity is measured as GDP per employee at place of work in constant prices, constant Purchasing Power Parities (reference year 2010).

The eleven dimensions are ordered by decreasing regional disparities in the country. Each well-being dimension is measured by the indicators in the table below. Italy has the largest regional disparities among OECD countries in terms of unemployment rate and the second largest disparities in terms of safety (homicide rates). While Aosta Valley ranks among the safest 1% of OECD regions, Sicily ranks among the bottom 10%. With respect to other OECD regions, all Italian regions have improved their relative ranking in health (life expectancy) since 2000 and are now in the top 20% healthiest OECD regions, with the exception of Campania and Sicily. The top performing Italian regions fare better than the OECD median region in most well-being indicators, except for unemployment rate, air pollution, self-evaluation of life satisfaction and the share of labour force with at least a secondary degree.

In Italy, this is equivalent to 28.9% of total public expenditure and to 14.3% of GDP. In comparison, across the OECD, subnational government expenditure accounts for 40.4% of total public expenditure and for 16.2% of GDP. Health and general public services are the two largest spending items for subnational governments in Italy: together they represent 62% of subnational expenditure compared to 32% in the OECD area.

Gitzinger (team leader) Mr E. Henrich Mr. E. Hrnecek Mr. A. Ryan Reference: IT-11/06 INTRODUCTION Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty requires that each Member State shall establish facilities necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in air, water and soil and to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards (1). Article 35 also gives the European Commission (EC) the right of access to such facilities in order that it may verify their operation and efficiency. For the EC, the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) and in particular its Radiation Protection Unit (at the time of the visit ENER.D.4, now ENER.D.3) is responsible for undertaking these verifications. The main purpose of verifications performed under Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty is to provide an independent assessment of the adequacy of monitoring facilities for: - Liquid and airborne discharges of radioactivity into the environment by a site (and control thereof). - Levels of environmental radioactivity at the site perimeter and in the marine, terrestrial and aquatic environment around the site, for all relevant pathways. - Levels of environmental radioactivity on the territory of the Member State. Taking into account previous bilateral protocols, a Commission Communication has been published in the Official Journal on 4 July 2006 with a view to define some practical arrangements for the conduct of Article 35 verification visits in Member States.

  • The Geography of Italian Pasta
    The Geography of Italian Pasta David Alexander University of Massachusetts, Amherst Pasta is as much an institution as a food in Italy, where it has made a significant contribution to national culture. Its historical geography is one of strong regional variations based on climate, social factors, and diffusion patterns. These are considered herein; a taxonomy of pasta types is presented and illustrated in a series of maps that show regional variations. The classification scheme divides pasta into eight classes based on morphology and, where appropriate, filling. These include the spaghetti and tubular families, pasta shells, ribbon forms, short pasta, very small or “micro- pasta” types, the ravioli family of filled pasta, and the dumpling family, which includes gnocchi. Three patterns of dif- fusion of pasta types are identified: by sea, usually from the Mezzogiorno and Sicily, locally through adjacent regions, and outwards from the main centers of adoption. Many dry pasta forms are native to the south and center of Italy, while filled pasta of the ravioli family predominates north of the Apennines. Changes in the geography of pasta are re- viewed and analyzed in terms of the modern duality of culture and commercialism. Key Words: pasta, Italy, cultural geography, regional geography.
