	Mezzogiorno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Mezzogiorno ("mèzzo" /'mɛddzo/ and "giórno" /'dʒorno/) first came into use in the nineteenth century, a comparison with the French Midi.
		Geographically the Mezzogiorno is the actual "boot" of the peninsula, containing the ankle (Abruzzo and Molise), the toe (Calabria), and the heel (the southern half of Apulia).
		Separating the two is the Gulf of Taranto, named after the city of Taranto, which sits at the angle between heel and "sole".

		Italians call the land south of Rome the "Mezzogiorno d’Italia," which simply means "the south," and since ancient times it has been at the crossroads of trade and commerce.
		Historically, the Mezzogiorno was agricultural land, and today, it is rightly famous for the lemons, vineyards and olive groves dotting its countryside.

		E' emerso durante un convegno di studi «Il Mezzogiorno d’Italia in età napoleonica» che si è svolto a Potenza.
		Il governo del territorio e l’attenzione per il suolo sono due degli aspetti principali dell’attività amministrativa francese nel Mezzogiorno tra il 1806 e il 1815.
		L’operazione amministrativa ottocentesca rappresentò, nel Mezzogiorno, una vera e propria svolta che “non ha goduto di una grande storiografia — ha aggiunto Russo — ma di forti critiche”, ma che ha permesso un’analisi profonda dell’assetto del territorio agricolo, con la registrazione di 400 tomoli di terra, pari al 25 per cento del totale dei terreni.

	CHAPTER III
		One result has been a reduction in government resource flows to the South: fewer government jobs, fewer subsidies and a large cutback in government-funded construction projects which in some provinces were a principal source of economic activity.
		Moreover, an expert on the Mezzogiorno, economist Alfredo Del Monte, has concluded that the administrative reform of the 1970s, which gave additional powers to regional governments led to increased corruption in nearly all of Italy (not just in the South) by increasing the margin for autonomous decision making by bureaucrats and politicians.
		Bassolino and Orlando have the potential to play a role on the national political stage, and indeed, Bassolino was appointed Minister of Labor in the of new government of PDS leader Massimo D’Alema.

	In Praise of Il Mezzogiorno - Italy’s Extraordinary South
		Il Mezzogiorno – ‘the midday’ – is how Italians often refer to the peninsula’s regions south of Rome.
		Officially, Sicily cannot be classified as part of Italy’s south – it is an island, of course, and its proud people regard themselves as distinct from the rest of the peninsula.
		But the character of the Mezzogiorno is shared by the rugged landscapes of Sicily, and to some extent by its inhabitants, too.

		Lyrically and musically, Alice and the band are at their best, making this album an accessible but arty affair not dissimilar to Roxy Music's last two albums and to Bryan Ferry's solo output.

		Giovanna Mezzogiorno is superb as the same-named character -- she has that rare presence that fills up the screen and spills over.

		We refer to a model by Laffont and Tirole (1993) in order to show that under conditions which may be relevant for the Italian experience, firms will enjoy rents that imply allocative inefficiency because of an excess of investment.

	SSRN-The ICT Revolution: Opportunities and Risks for the Mezzogiorno by Dino Pinelli, Elena Bellini, Gianmarco Ottaviano
		At the beginning of the 1990s the advent of the Internet brought a new surge of debate: it was argued that the Internet would free the economy from the constraints of geography (Cairncross, 1997), bringing about a more even economic landscape.
		On the other hand, there is evidence that the parallel shift towards more knowledge- and skill-intensive activities might counterbalance this dispersion effect.

		Stereotypical representations of the Mezzogiorno are a persistent feature of Italian culture at all levels.
		In Darkest Italy, John Dickie analyzes these stereotypes in the post-Unification period, when the Mezzogiorno was widely seen as barbaric, violent or irrational, an "Africa" on the European continent.
		At the same time, this is the moment when the Mezzogiorno became a metaphor for the state of the country as a whole, the index of Italy's modernity.

		It went to Italy's Cassa per Il Mezzogiorno (Southern Development Fund), the special government agency set up in 1950 to push a twelve-year, $2 billion southern revival program.
		Hampered by petty politics, minor graft and insufficient funds ($180 million yearly), the Cassa has moved slowly for the size of the job, but results are already apparent.
