Italian minister addresses rural village depopulation

Overview

Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci visited San Giovanni di Gerace to address the demographic challenges facing small Italian villages, particularly in the Locride region and Calabria.

The visit included a ceremony to dedicate a street and square to Fortunato Cavaleri, a former mayor from the 1950s. During the event, Musumeci and local leaders, such as Antonio Barillaro, discussed the urgent need to combat depopulation, low birth rates, and youth emigration.

Discussions focused on how inland communities are marginalized by inadequate transportation infrastructure and a tourism industry that favors coastal areas. Officials emphasized the necessity of providing essential services and creating economic opportunities to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of these rural municipalities.
