WEALTH AND POVERTY IN LOMBARDY
Lombardy is the richest region of Italy from the culture and the economy.
In Lombardy agriculture and breeding are not the most important resources but production and industries are among the highest on the whole Country.
Lombardy is the heart of the Italian industries and the land between Milan and Brescia there is the highest concentration of industries in Italy.
Milan is the first commercial centre of Italy with a high concentration of bank, of insurances, businesses, but also of tourist services.
The tourist activity, in fact, is more important: the alpine tourism on the Alps, the tourist of art in the cities like Pavia, Mantova, Bergamo, and the tourism on the lakes Lake Maggiore, Lake of Garda along with the thermal tourism as the baths in Sirmione.
But however the wealth isnt distributed in a homogenous way in fact many people live in a condition of poverty and they are concentrated particularly in the suburb areas of the city.
Besides Lombardy is the destination of a great number of immigrants in search of a better life.
How is the situation in your area? Do you see many immigrants from abroad?
