At least they'll both get a lot of rest before Tokyo...

There is noticeable drop in living standard, average income and standard of infrastructure and government service once you go south of Rome. Italians themselves have debated the reason for this north-south divide. The biggest, technologically more advanced and most well-known Italian companies are mostly based in the North or Rome. Go to Milan, Turin or Bologna in the north and they are, for the most part, rich, developed and thriving cities, but go to Sicily and anywhere in the South and you see a rather different picture. The poverty rate in the south of the country rivals almost that of Romania, a much less developed country that has for decades been oppressed by a communist dictatorship. The (negative) economic growth rate in the South was even worse than Greece, which in recent years have suffered from a economic depression. A lot of reasons has been provided, how Southern Italy missed much of the industrial revolution and later the transition to service-based economy. How the culture in the south do not encourage entrepreneurship, how generations of children in the south are told to follow in the footsteps of their parents rather than seek out fresh pastures on their own. And since the legitimate economy do not seem to provide opportunities, the illegal underground one appears, that may be one reason, along with strong clan ties, why the organized crime groups like the Mafia or 'Ndrangheta emerged first in the south. I suppose there are exceptions, like Naples, which has a large economy and also is a tourist hotspot. But even so, a tourist would see a noticable contrast with the chaotic, trash-filled and run-down Naples, where poverty is more apparent and in-your-face compared to the more sophisticated and relatively more well-ordered Milan. Naples is one the worst places I’ve ever been. Especially that trek between Naples and Sorrento. Florence and the other cities you mentioned in the north are considerably different. Not to side track too far, but if Naples is the worst place you've ever been then I don't think you've ever been to an actual 3rd world country or city.

There are some nice sights to Naples. Maybe it's better to say that while Italy is a developed country, Naples is really questionable in terms of actually meeting the "developed" status.
