Verona is confirmed among the Italian provinces with the best quality of life according to the 2024 ranking of the Sole 24 Ore. Thanks to a solid economy, a high cultural and tourist offer and an excellent level of services, the city is still one of the most popular destinations for both residents and visitors.
This year, the North-East is again at the top of the ranking, with Bergamo in first place. However, the big cities are struggling to keep up: Bologna stands at 9th place, while Milan drops to 12°, Florence to 36° and Rome to 59°. The South remains in the last positions, but shows signs of improvement. Verona is not only the city of the Arena and Romeo and Juliet, but a dynamic center that combines tradition and innovation. The economic fabric is distinguished by the presence of strategic sectors such as agri-food, logistics and trade, favoured by a strategic geographical position. Tourism continues to be an engine of development, thanks to international events such as the Areniana opera season and trade fairs.
The quality of life is also enhanced by its proximity to Lake Garda, one of the tourist gems of northern Italy. The Veronese shore of the lake, with resorts such as Peschiera, Bardolino, Lazise and Malcesine, offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, outdoor activities and high-level services. The Garda is a privileged destination for sportsmen, wellness lovers and tourists looking for relaxation, guaranteeing an additional boost to the local economy. Thanks to this combination of factors, Verona and its territory are confirmed among the Italian provinces where people live best, representing an example of balance between quality of life, work opportunities and landscape heritage.
