The CGIA of Mestre calculated Italy's GDP by totaling the final goods and services produced by national and foreign companies operating in the country. The bottom line is that the country generates 5.8 billion GDP, or 99 euros per day for every Italian, including newborns and centenarians. Once again, a two-speed Italy emerges, with Trentino Alto Adige leading the way with 146 euros of GDP per capita per day and Sicily and Calabria trailing behind with 60 and 58 euros. The situation is similar when it comes to labor productivity. In this case, Trentino Alto Adige ranks first with 253 euros per day, followed by Lombardy with 251 euros. Milan and Bolzano lead the provinces, while Barletta and Ragusa are the worst. Italians rank 12th among EU members in terms of daily wealth per capita, with 99 euros per day equivalent to 336 euros in Luxembourg, 266 euros in Ireland, and 179 in Denmark. According to CGIA, Italy began to lose ground about 40 years ago, hampered on the one hand by the fall of the Berlin Wall, which reshaped the European economic balance, and on the other by Tangentopoli, which weakened state-owned enterprises.
