The 24th edition of the annual survey puts Trento at the top of the rankings, knocking Parma off the first position from last year and into seventh place in 2022.
In second and third place on the Quality of Life list are Bolzano and Bologna, each of which steps up one position respectively compared to last year, followed by Florence in fourth position (up two places).
Trieste is in th 9th place, while Milan remains in fifth place and Siena is sixth (jumping from 12th place last year), followed by Parma (7), Pordenone (8), and Modena (10).
At the bottom of the list of 107 provinces is Crotone, in the southern Calabria region, with the second-lowest position going to Siracusa (106), followed by Caltanissetta (105), and Naples (104) in a slight improvement from its second-last place in 2021.
