In general all the regions seem to confirm their ranking in term of quality of life according to
Grasso, 2002. Lombardy reveals two functionings below average (PPH and SI) and only ET
above, Emilia Romagna presents all the functionings above average (especially ET and SI), and
Campania has very poor values particularly for ET and SI. The positive and negative growth
patterns, pointed out by the simulations run, are more relevant at aggregate level for Emilia
Romagna, while they appear weaker for Lombardy and almost irrelevant for Campania.
5. Concluding remarks
In PPH, the values derived for Lombardy and Campania hint at a good level of consistency
with the ranking of these regions in terms of quality of life. Emilia Romagna’s values,
conversely, are not coherent with this latter ranking. When considering the whole CFM all the
regions seem to confirm their ranking in term of quality of life, their functionings values
spreading from high above the national average for Emilia Romagna, to well below for
Campania, which are respectively first and last in terms of quality of life.
Furthermore, the model seems to suggest that Lombardy, the Italian region of oldest
industrialization, is still paying the costs of a pattern of economic growth which, by privileging
utilitarian welfare, has forgotten the senian dimensions of well-being. Emilia Romagna, maybe
learning from the mistakes of first-movers, has followed a more sustainable model of
development, which has allowed higher values for all the functionings considered. Campania,
also according to the senian paradigm, confirms the general delay of southern Italy.
