John:

Northern Italy is industrialized and very modern.

Southern Italy is closer to third world.

This is why the coverage has been confusing imho.

Do a search on Milan (northern Italy) pre corona virus and you will get the idea.

What was in Milan that wasn’t in the rest of the country?

Chinese workers who work in the textile industry there.

we have operations in northern italy - outside of treviso and venice. the northern Italians despise the southern italians for their lack of work ethic and laziness. The north is very modern and industrialized...and beautiful.

The northerners actually have pushed before and in recent years to separate into two countries. They say the south won't allow it because all the business is located in the North. LOL
