Which Is The Most Populated City In Italy?

The most populated city in Italy is Milan. It has got a population of about 4/4.3 million people, and this is the real extent of the urban area, because the municipality of Milan (1.3 million people) covers only the historic centre of the city, and all historic centre of italian cities are no more highly populated (they are very ancient).

Milan is in fact subdivide into several municipalities (as Naples) which artificially bring down the real number of people. Rome (the capital city), on the contrary, is not subdivided into several municipalities, but consist of only one municipality : Just the comparison between the area of the two municipalities (1285 square km Roma versus 182 square km Milan, that is as a little country town...) shows it.

The metropolitan area of Milan is about 7.5 / 7.6 million people.
