Rome is the most populous city in Italy. With 2.75 million inhabitants, the capital of the country put ahead Milan and Naples. Compared to the number of citizens in 2012, the resident population of Rome increased by over 140,000 individuals. Regional data Rome is located in the center of Italy in the Lazio region. Lazio is the second-largest region in terms of population size after Lombardy. In 2024, the region counts roughly 5.7 million inhabitants, whereas Lombardy has over ten million individuals. The third-largest region is Campania, with 5.6 million people. Naples, the major center of Campania, has around 910,000 inhabitants at the beginning of 2024. Nevertheless, this city was, back in the 19th century, one of the largest cities in Western Europe. Tourism in Rome The Eternal City is also the main tourist destination in Italy and was the eighth most-visited city in Europe. The largest groups of international visitors in Rome came from the United States of America, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Every year, more and more tourists also enjoy the best-known tourist attractions in Rome, like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill, which together recorded almost ten million visitors in 2022.

This statistic shows the ten largest cities in Italy in 2025. In 2025, around 2.75 million people lived in Rome, making it the largest city in Italy. Population of Italy Italy has high population figures and a high population density in comparison to other European countries. A vast majority of Italians lives in urban areas and in the metropolises (as can be seen in this statistic), while other areas, such as the island Sardinia, are rather sparsely inhabited. After an increase a few years ago, Italy’s fertility rate, i.e. the average amount of children born to a woman of childbearing age, is now on a slow decline; however, it is still high enough to offset any significant effect the decrease might have on the country’s number of inhabitants. The median age of Italy’s population has been increasing rapidly over the past 50 years – which mirrors a lower mortality rate – and Italy is now among the countries with the highest life expectancy worldwide, only surpassed by two Asian countries, namely Japan and Hong Kong. Currently, the average life expectancy at birth in Italy is at about 83 years. Most of Italy’s population is of Roman Catholic faith. The country actually boasts one of the largest numbers of Catholics worldwide; other such countries include Brazil, Mexico and the United States. The central government of the Roman Catholic Church, the Holy See, is located in Vatican City in the heart of Italy’s capital and ruled by the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Officially, Vatican City does not belong to Italy, but is a sovereign state with its own legislation and jurisdiction. It has about 600 inhabitants, who are almost exclusively members of the clergy or government officials.

Context

This dataset is the result of my study on web-scraping of English Wikipedia in R and my tests on regression and classification modelization in R.

Content

The content is create by reading the appropriate articles in English Wikipedia about Italian cities: I did'nt run NPL analisys but only the table with the data and I ranked every city from 0 to N in every aspect. About the values, 0 means "*the city is not ranked in this aspect*" and N means "*the city is at first place, in descending order of importance, in this aspect* ". If there's no ranking in a particular aspect (for example, the only existence of the airports/harbours with no additional data about the traffic or the size), then 0 means "*no existence*" and N means "*there are N airports/harbours*". The only not-numeric column is the column with the name of the cities in English form, except some exceptions (for example, "*Bra (CN)* " because of simplicity.

Inspiration

As a beginner in data analisys and modelization (Ok, I passed the exam of statistics in Politecnico di Milano (Italy), but there are more than 10 years that I don't work in this topic and my memory is getting old ^_^) I worked more on data clean, dataset building and building the simplest modelization.

You can use this datase to realize which city is good to live or to expand this to add some other data from Wikipedia (not only reading the tables but too to read the text adn extrapolate the data from the meaningless text.)

The Italian office real estate market, currently experiencing robust growth, is projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 5% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Firstly, a strengthening Italian economy, fueled by increasing tourism and a resurgence in manufacturing, is boosting demand for office space, particularly in major cities like Milan and Rome. Secondly, the ongoing trend towards flexible workspaces and hybrid work models is reshaping the office market, with a growing need for modern, adaptable office environments. Furthermore, increasing foreign investment in Italy's thriving technology and financial sectors is contributing to higher occupancy rates and rental prices. While constraints such as limited supply of prime office space in key locations and rising construction costs exist, the overall market outlook remains positive. The major players in this dynamic market, including Impresa Pizzarotti, Webuild, CBRE Italy, and others, are actively responding to these trends by developing new projects and adapting their services to meet evolving market demands. This competition fosters innovation and ensures the ongoing improvement of office spaces across Italy. The segmentation of the Italian office market reveals strong performance in key cities such as Rome, Milan, and Naples, mirroring economic activity and population density. Turin's market also shows promise. However, while "Other Cities" comprise a significant portion of the market, their growth trajectory might lag behind major metropolitan areas due to lower economic activity and a less concentrated workforce. The historical period (2019-2024) likely saw fluctuations reflecting global economic events and, potentially, a period of slower growth before the current expansion. Assuming a 2025 market size of €10 billion (a reasonable estimate given the stated CAGR and market dynamics), a 5% annual growth rate projects the market to approximately €13.4 billion by 2028 (€10 billion * 1.05^3). This growth will be unevenly distributed across regions, with major cities likely exhibiting higher growth rates than smaller urban centers. This in-depth report provides a comprehensive analysis of the Italy office real estate market, covering the historical period (2019-2024), base year (2025), and forecast period (2025-2033). It delves into market size, trends, key players, and future growth prospects, offering valuable insights for investors, developers, and industry professionals seeking to navigate this dynamic sector. The study period encompasses significant market shifts, enabling informed strategic decision-making. Recent developments include: November 2022 - A major Milan office building was purchased by Macquarie Asset Management through an Italian real estate fund for roughly EUR 119 million (USD 126 Million). It has been an active participant in the Italian real estate market for a number of years, and it has now added this historic house to its portfolio of properties in the region. One of the most desirable gateway cities in Europe is Milan, with many opportunities to find higher-quality apartments with strong demand., Feb 2022 - The acquisition of an office building in Milan's Piazza Trento, in the Porta Romana neighborhood, from Europ Assistance Italy was finalized by BC Partners European Real Estate I (BCPERE I) and Kervis Group. This investment demonstrates even more clearly how confident it is in the stable foundations of the Milanese office and residential markets.. Key drivers for this market are: Increasing geriatric population, Growing cases of chronic disease among senior citizens. Potential restraints include: High cost of elderly care services, Lack of skilled staff. Notable trends are: Occupier and Investment Focus in Milan.

The dataset we provide is composed of a CSV file containing the answers of responders to our questionnaire conducted to explore perceptions and feelings on the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was conducted from June 27 to July 2 2022 among university students and adult residents of Milan, Italy, and New York City, NY, U.S.A. The two target demographics for this study were adult residents of the two cities who were employed at the beginning of 2020 and students who attended university during 2020 or joined during the pandemic. The survey was accompanied by a promotional video and an introductory paragraph describing the objective of the study. It was shared through social media platforms, on specialized social media groups, and on university students’ mailing lists. The total number of questions asked is a maximum of 20, variable depending on answers given by a user since we employed branching based on previous answers. This feature was particularly useful in creating questions that were specific to a subset of the sample population The topics of questions cover the following broad areas: Relationships: Multiple Choice and sorting/ranking questions designed to understand who the respondents spent lockdown with, if they managed to keep in touch with those they could not meet, and to family, friends, and intimate relationships during the pandemic Policies: Likert scale questions measuring agreement with measures put in place in both Milan and New York Personal Life: questions about one’s priorities before and during the pandemic Occupation: Multiple Choice questions about one’s occupation during the pandemic and feelings towards work or university Post-pandemic: Likert scale questions about one's perception of contagion threats and feelings of normalcy at the time they responded to the survey Demographics: Multiple choice questions to describe the pool of respondents and control sample bias The types of questions are one of the following: Multiple choice (one or more selections or single selection); Ranking; and Numeric scale (1-5 or 1-10). The “ranking” question type allowed users to sort a list of items in descending order of importance. In the dataset the column name represents the ranking given to the item, e.g. 1. highest priority.

The dataset contains the final ISTAT data relating to the General Census of Population and Housing for the year 2011 divided by Submunicipal Areas (Neighborhoods) of the city of Matera. Speaking of censuses, it is good to trace a brief history of them. The first general census of the population in Italy dates back to 1861, the year of the unification of the country in the Kingdom of Italy and 26 million and three hundred thousand Italians were censused. From 1861 to 2011, the census sessions were held every 10 years with the exceptions of 1891, due to the financial difficulties of the country and 1941 due to the Second World War. Another exception is represented by the 1936 Census, carried out just 5 years after the previous one following a legislative reform of 1930 that had modified its periodicity, immediately after reported every ten years as still in force. At the last Census of 2011, carried out with innovative methods, the census population in our country exceeds 60 million.
