STATISTICAL INFORMATION:
A WEALTH TO THE COMMUNITY
Providing users with the tools to deepen
knowledge of Italy's social, economic and
environmental phenomena at various levels
of geographical detail. This is the mission
Istat is pursuing through accurate analyses
and investigations.
Divided into 16 themes, Italy in figures synthetically describes the main
economic, demographic, social and territorial aspects of Italy as well
as some basic habits and behaviours of its population.
In-depth sections, glossaries and brief methodological notes allow
even a non-expert public to take advantage of the information wealth.
Distributed to the international and domestic institutions, media and
opinion leaders, a free copy may be obtained from Istat Statistical
Information Centres in any region or autonomous province or upon
request to the Dissemination and Communication of Statistical
Information Directorate.
Alternatively, users may download its full version or browse each
chapter from the website homepage www.istat.it, where all data
produced by our Institute are available.
