    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!

      Wow, that’s actually a pretty even population distribution relative to the actual shape of the country.

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

      Great maps but I have to be honest. I first thought they were Crosstitch patterns.

      PLEASEEEEE do TURKEY. I just want to see an absurd Istanbul 😃
      Marmara region (2nd smallest region of Turkey out of 7) contains more than 30% of the population of the country.

      These maps are great, it’s really interesting how this is fairly even and real in shape compared to the incredibly deformed UK one

      Overall balanced, but Lombardy is a beast. I wonder if it’ll become more unbalanced over time due to demographics.

      For anyone wondering what the four dots in the sea are, from north to south:

      Tuscan Archipelago: most of the population by far lives on Elba, which is the 3rd largest island of Italy after Sicily and Sardinia. Population of Elba is 31,592 while there are 34,389 inhabitants in the whole archipelago.

      Campanian Archipelago: the largest island by size and population is Ischia, the 8th largest island of Italy, which has 62,027 inhabitants. Capri has a population of 12,903 and Procida has 10,596.

      Aeolian Islands: most of the population lives on Lipari, Italy’s 9th largest island which has 12,793 residents. The entire archipelago has a population of 15,419.

      Pantelleria: this island is Italy’s 5th largest, and it has a population of 7,335. I assume the even more southerly and similarly remote Pelagian Islands of Lampedusa and Linosa are also included in this dot; they have a population of 6,462.

      Except for small Piedmont, Umbria, and Sardinia and big Lombardy,  every other region is quite proportionate. That’s unsurprising given how evenly populated the whole country is. 

      Rome is bigger than I expected

      Are italians racist towards different italians? Like do they look down on sicilians in the north?

      Just a suggestion, could you put a key where you comfirm what total pop. number is in each square? I know it’s a percentage, but would just be interesting to have a perspective on the total numbers too, gives additional insight into what a popular city means for each country.
