Abstract

The present work analyses wealth in Italy over the past 50 years. It is chiefly devoted to the main work by Corrado Gini from 1914, which has constituted a model and source of inspiration for scholars in this field for many years. This work was recently brought up to date by a group of statisticians of the Italian Central Institute of Statistics, who have taken into account new material that has been added to the body of knowledge. Here, the author draws upon this work and occasionally on other studies by Gini to refer to several outstanding points: (a) problems of a methodological character bearing on the evaluations of wealth; (b) available evaluations of Italian wealth; (c) comparisons of Italy’s wealth with that of other countries.
