Four Italian municipalities—Portomaggiore, Collevecchio, Santa Maria del Cedro, and Castiadas—were awarded the 'Comune Vivo' prize for their efforts in reversing depopulation trends. The award was presented by the Foundation with the South in collaboration with Anci, based on data analysis and public information. The initiative aims to recognize small communities that are successfully promoting demographic regeneration through strategies focused on birth, staying, returning, and arriving.
