Income Map, Here's Where the Rich Live: Peak in Piazza Solferino

The highest average incomes are in areas such as Gran Madre and Piazza Solferino, with a noticeable social, economic, and political divide along the course of Regina Margherita.

Italy’s new electoral law, explained
The article discusses the new electoral system in Italy, known as the Rosatellum, which will be used in the upcoming elections on March 4. This system, proposed by Ettore Rosato of the Democratic Party, combines first-past-the-post races for 37 percent of the parliament with proportional representation for the remaining 63 percent. The change emphasizes local constituency races and requires parties to engage in ground campaigning. The article notes the decline in party membership and local offices compared to the past. It highlights the potential advantage for Silvio Berlusconi's coalition due to the new system and the challenges faced by the Democratic Party and the 5Star Movement. The likelihood of a hung parliament is mentioned, with many constituencies being highly contested.
