Maccastorna, in the province of Lodi, is the wealthiest municipality in Italy. According to tax data from 2025, the small town has the greatest average income, which is €72,684. Following Maccastorna, the municipalities with the highest average total income in 2024 are Lajatico in the province of Pisa (€67,519, +13.5% compared to the previous year) and Portofino in the province of Genoa (€65,836, -30.9%). Maccastorna's lead, in a municipality with only 76 taxpayers, is due to the income of one or a few residents. This tendency is identical to what once propelled Lajatico to the top of the national rankings. Among significant residential centers, Milan continues to have the highest average total income (€40,316, up 3.3%). Monza (€35,628, +3.5%), Bergamo (€34,263, +2.5%), Bologna (€32,302, +4.2%), Rome (€31,423, +3.8%), and Naples (€24,388, +3.5%) are next. At the sub-municipal level, the most "exclusive" neighborhoods are all Milanese, with CityLife, Duomo-Brera, and Sant'Ambrogio consistently at the top. The lowest incomes remain concentrated in a few Palermo neighborhoods. Lombardy has the highest average overall income (€29,421, up 3.7%), ahead of Trentino-Alto Adige (€27,978, +3.9%) and Emilia-Romagna (€27,434, +3.7%). Despite increasing values, Calabria (€18,474, +4.6%), Molise (€19,889, +4.6%), and Puglia (€19,936, +4.8%) remain at the bottom of the ranking. Overall, Italy's total per capita income grew to €25,125 in 2024, up 4.1% from 2023.
