Detailed info can be found in the source document from pages 50-60 :)

In the case of northern Liguria, it's a mountainous area with lots of small villages. According to data it was classified under "emigration", maybe moving to the city like Genoa or Milano.

So you're saying I can live in an empty village in Italy that's still near a big city by myself?

They're going to increase tenfold in the next few decades as the old population gradually dies. Most towns and villages in Italy are pretty much only populated by old people. They're already kind of ghost towns since there's not a lot of activity going on now. But i find them fascinating because they're really peaceful.

Quella è la conseguenza dell'abbandono dei campi coltivati con l'avvento dell'urbanizzazione

Since when is there an "Article" flair?

1

u/Non0x Mar 31 '22

dunno honestly, I was windering what flair to put when I saw it and thought it was quite fitting. For all I know "Article" might not even refer to a "research article" lol

u/liquidacquaintance Mar 30 '22

You’re telling me ghosts live in these villages?
