L’Italia espressa in 12 grafici senza faziosità, ideologia e retorica.


L’Italia dopo la recessione mondiale del 2008 è cresciuta meno degli altri paesi europei. Ora con una disoccupazione ancora intorno all’11% e il livello di Pil lo stesso che aveva 25 anni fa, ci vorranno alcuni anni prima che arrivi al quello del 2008, cioè a un livello economico prima della grande recessione.

Le frustrazioni degli italiani hanno influito sul risultato delle elezioni.

The economy is improving, but deep scars from the longest downturn still remain.
Eric Sylvers

The global financial crisis and the eurozone debt meltdown that followed hit Italy particularly hard. The economy has begun to grow again, but as Italians went to the polls, it remains the only member of the Group of Seven leading industrial nations whose economy is still smaller than its precrisis size.




Helped by the fastest European economic growth in a decade, Italian business sentiment is at its highest since 2007.



The benign sentiment in international markets means this vote—unlike previous Italian political events—is having a limited impact on bond yields. 

 During the crisis, Italy addressed some of the problems afflicting its economy—and the country has risen in the World Bank’s ease-of-doing-business rankings—but it still lags behind rivals such as Spain.

Deep problems remain for the economy and society: The percentage of young Italians not in an educational program, employment or training is more than double that in Germany and higher than in any other country in the European Union


Poverty rates in Italy have soared during the crisis, even as they have leveled off or fallen elsewhere in Europe.



Unemployment has come down, but much of the progress can be attributed to an increase in short-term employment contracts that generally pay low wages and rarely lead to a full-time position.




Heavy spending on pensions has crowded out investment in other areas such as education.




The historic deep divide between Italy’s north—one of Europe’s wealthiest areas—and a deeply depressed south has only worsened during the downturn.



Nationwide, only roughly a third of Italians believe they will be better off than their parents’ generation.
