The North–South Economic Divide in Italy: Historical, Economic, and Socio-Cultural Causes
The economic divide between Northern Italy (regions such as Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont) and the South (the Mezzogiorno, including Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, and Sardinia) is one of the most persistent structural problems in Italian history.
Despite the unification of 1861, today the southern per-capita GDP stands at roughly 58–60% of that of the Centre-North, with unemployment rates twice as high (over 20% in the South versus 6–8% in the North) and a dependence on state subsidies that has generated a vicious circle of welfare dependency.
This imbalance is not innate but arises from a complex interplay of historical, economic, socio-cultural, and other factors (geographical, political, institutional).
Below is an exhaustive analysis—based on historical and economic studies—showing how the gap pre-existed the Unification but dramatically widened in the decades that followed.
Explanation Part 2
Historical Causes
The roots of the divide go back thousands of years, accentuated by unification and by dynamics of “internal colonialism.”
Before unification (that is, prior to 1861), the North benefited from autonomous development: the Lombard invasion (6th century) fostered the rise of medieval city-states (10th–13th centuries), which developed a mercantile and proto-industrial bourgeoisie and became integrated into European trade routes.
By contrast, the South was dominated by foreign monarchies (Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Spaniards, Bourbons), which imposed a centralized feudal system marked by unproductive latifundia and a lack of local autonomy.
The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1816–1861) had a primitive agrarian economy plagued by endemic malaria, deforestation, and poor irrigation, despite abundant natural resources; per-capita GDP was similar to or slightly higher than that of the North (according to Daniele and Malanima), yet the infrastructural gaps were enormous: 14,700 km of roads compared to 75,500 in the North, and only 184 km of railways versus more than 2,300.
The unification of 1861 imposed the Piedmontese model (centralist and liberalist), treating the South as an “internal colony”: southern resources financed northern debt (which had risen by 565% before 1860) and the “industrial triangle” (Turin–Milan–Genoa).
This led to brigantaggio (1860–1870), a peasant revolt suppressed by 120,000 soldiers under martial law (the Pica Law, 1863), which alienated the South from the nascent state and perpetuated hostility.
In the twentieth century, the First World War (1915–1918) channelled industrial contracts to the North, while Fascism (1922–1943) invested in southern infrastructure (e.g. the Apulian aqueduct) but in a clientelistic manner, without structural reform.
The Second World War devastated the South (Allied bombings, mafia-US alliances), and the post-war economic boom (1950–1970) industrialized the North through the Marshall Plan, leaving the Mezzogiorno largely agrarian.
🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨
This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call.
Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year.
But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly."
They reference coordination with Johns Hopkins, "international democracy and conflict mitigation spaces," and efforts to mobilize across borders against what they perceive as domestic authoritarianism.
At what point does this become treason?
As always, patience as I pull together this thread.

Note at the end of the video, the "we" in reference to organizing the February 5th protests - that was organized by Soros-backed groups 50501 and Indivisible. This is the first solid link I've found connecting the No Kings movement, State Department, and Soros together.
Ro Tucci herself goes onto talk about bringing in international actors to assist with the color revolution. Their role is going to be "mobilizing around corruption" ... what does that mean?
Correct. Something that radicalized me on this recently was the woman cutting my hair, and to whom (as with other service workers) I always give a generous tip, letting slide that things are tough at the moment because with government closed she may not get SNAP payments. 1/
I have sat through appointments of this woman telling me about taking her kids to Disney World and how she went out drinking with friends on weekends. She’s wearing an Apple Watch. She has a full-time job. She goes out partying. She takes the family to expensive amusement parks. And part of my paycheck each week goes to paying for her kids’ food because ostensibly she can’t afford to feed them.
That stuck with me for like a week.
I’ve never opposed and do not oppose helping out people who TRULY need it. People who literally cannot eat at the moment without my help.
But that’s not the reality for 1 in 8 Americans. That’s not the reality for these people who just choose to spend their limited income on more fun things than buying food for their kids.
Too many function from a premise of “I have very little money and so if I spent that on food I’d have no disposable income for me to have a little fun or buy things I want”. Like the starting premise is that of course we need to set aside part of your income for fun stuff and then if there’s not enough left for food then you’re poor and I need to help.
No, bitch. I’m not financing your food so that you can have fun or be comfortable as a priority. That’s not what food stamps are supposed to be for.
For months, Democrats have warned that health care premiums would skyrocket because the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits will expire on December 31—and that this will affect everyone. But Republicans have done everything in their power, while controlling both Congress and the Presidency, to shut down the government rather than help Americans afford to go to the doctor and access cancer treatment or life-saving prescriptions.
For 40 days—the longest shutdown in U.S. history—federal workers went without paychecks. This includes our air traffic controllers, whose towers were already understaffed. They continued to work 10 hours days, six days per week to keep our airspace safe, with this additional stress at a life-saving job. All while the President has been fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying SNAP benefits to our nation’s hungry, while he builds himself a golden ballroom and perfects his golf game.
