Mobilità e connessioni epidemiche tra aree interne e urbane in Umbria

The essay illustrates the main environmental, social and economic specificities of Umbria. The aim is to explain the data relating to the first phase of the pandemic in the light of territorial factors. The analysis shows how the region’s fragilities (aging population, isolation, limitations of the infrastructural network) are the cause of low mobility. These fragilities, combined with a good supply of health structures, help in explaining a modest spread of contagions in the first phase of the pandemic.
