  Finance Choices - Personal Finance Wiki
Milan is also famous for the Alfa Romeo motorcar and for its silk production; but on the whole relies on its directional functions for the whole of Lombardy, its once proud and strong industrial base having been externalized throughout the region in the 60s-70s of the last century.
Milan eventually became one of the main centers of the Risorgimento, with notable moments as the Cinque Giornate, a victorious popular revolt against the Austrian garrison in 1848, whose success was soon rendered short-lived by Piedmont's defeat on the battlefields.
Milan's province (due to be dissolved sooner or later into the Metropolitan City, a new administrative unit not yet implemented) lies in the western part of Lombardy; it covers an area of 1,981 square kilometers and has a population of 3,839,216 (2005); in 1991, the population was 3,738,685.

 Government 64: Reaction Paper #1
In Chapter IX, Machiavelli’s assertion that a “shrewd ruler, therefore, must try to ensure that his citizens, whatever the situation may be, will always be dependent on the government and on him; and then they will always be loyal to him” is of particular interest.
Whether or not some rulers truly believe they are aiding the good of society by murdering millions, the fact is that they clearly are not serving society through their power.
Machiavelli’s advice, which for the most part is very useful for a leader interested in gaining and maintaining power, only illustrates that rulers seldom have the best interests of society in mind; rather, they tend to focus more on their own interests, and their own desires for wealth, power, glory, and fame.

 Guide and Index to Lists of Rulers
One motivation is that history is often not taught anymore in terms of dynasties and rulers, since this is thought (by an academic elite comfortably supported by the taxpayers) to be too elitist and too removed from the life of the people.
A skeleton for history of rulers, with maps and genealogies, provides a perspective of time and space, and on real individuals whom we know about, that is otherwise hard to obtain.
The arrangement of these lists thus follows Bryce's principle of universalist ideology, centering on Rome but extending to similar to ideas outside of the Roman world.
