Seems like a historic problem that turned into a self-reinforcing structural one:
Before the unified kingdom in 1861:
• The North was tied into European trade and finance networks and began industrializing early
• The South was a feudal, agrarian monarchy with large estates and little middle class
After unification:
• Education lagged early on; literacy in the South was only about half of the North’s level (or much lower)
• Northern elites dominated the new state and its policies
• The new tax system weighed heavily on the South and helped service national debt
• Capital and banking were concentrated in the North, so profits rarely circulated back into the South
• Public spending mostly went to northern and central regions
Post-war:
• The Cassa per il Mezzogiorno law (1950) tried to fix it, investing billions in southern infrastructure
• But corruption and short political cycles meant few lasting industries took root
• It was abolished in 1984 and replaced by regional development programs with similar issues

I have never understood the massive economic divide in Italy. Why is the North with its various industries one of the wealthiest areas in Europe, but the South so extremely poor? Same country, same language, same laws and taxes. Can someone please explain?

Big news — my family and I are moving to Italy, where I’ll keep working as a freelance project manager helping expats build, renovate & extend their dream homes.
DMs open for anyone planning a project in Italy.

@Maro2Bear Me too! The pool and jacuzzi are amazing. Perfect for anyone who loves rural peace but doesn’t mind a 90-minute drive to Seville for a bit more urban life. Would you consider it?

@MillennialGuy Love Cadiz. I went there once for a friend’s wedding and it was beautiful.

@zerotaxmindset Thank you! Do you think it’s mostly for the residency perks, or just lack of awareness about what you can get elsewhere?

@emra_cc I still don’t understand why people drop $1M on a mediocre property for Dubai Golden Visa instead of putting that money into stunning real estate elsewhere.
Btw great info, Marcel.
