Northern Italy (think Turin, Milan, etc) is highly industrialized and has a robust modern economy, with global exports from fashion and finance and major brands like Fiat and Ferrari. Southern Italy (generally seen as being south of Rome or Lazio, the state Rome is in), has far less industry and mostly relies on agricultural products. I have family in southern Italy and it is very hard for young people because there are few to no opportunities. Many young people leave for better opportunities in the northern part of the country or they leave Italy entirely, which further deepens southern Italy’s economic rut.
