In 2020, the first year of the pandemic Covid-19, the metropolitan cities of the North also experienced high levels of mortality. After the metropolitan area of Naples (1.080 deaths per 100 inhabitants) are the metropolitan cities of Genoa (1.009 deaths per 100 inhabitants) and Turin (1.002 deaths per 100 inhabitants).
In 2021, the second year of the pandemic, the data confirm the highest mortality in the metropolitan city of Naples (1.097 deaths per 100 inhabitants) followed by the three Sicilian metropolitan cities of Messina, Catania, Palermo.
This is what emerges from the Istat Focus Profiles of Metropolitan Cities, a multi-thematic analysis of Metropolitan Cities – “territorial entities of vast area” that have replaced the provinces in 10 urban areas of regions with ordinary statutes – which have their own governing bodies and territories coinciding with those of the former provinces: Rome, Turin, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Bari, Naples and Reggio Calabria. To these are added four metropolitan cities of the regions with special statutes: Palermo, Catania, Messina and Cagliari.
