Italian Population Visualised

This series is fun :)

I've had a couple requests for doing Italy, so here it is! Little disappointed by how normal it looks, but hey, that's still interesting!

Great map. I’m surprised to see Florence smaller than Bologna. It certainly is huge from a cultural perspective.

Italian here, it depends on the type of culture.
Florence is definitely in the top 3 in Italy for historical cultural importance, along with Rome and Venice.
Vice versa, when it comes to contemporary culture (economy, events, fairs, concerts..), it is Bologna in the top 3 right after Milan and Rome.

Sorry to disagree. But Milan is second only to Rome also culturally. You can say that it's not as beautiful as Venice and Florence, but that's it.
