Trend în Italia: Oamenii fug din oraș pentru a trăi la munte, la răcoare / „Așa ne apărăm de schimbările climatice” / ”Nu-mi lipsește nimic din oraș”

In northern Italy, nearly 100,000 people have relocated to mountainous areas between 2019 and 2023, seeking cleaner air and lower costs. Residents express mixed feelings about leaving urban life, with many appreciating the tranquility and natural beauty. Climate change is a significant factor driving this migration, as individuals look for cooler environments and sustainable living options. Some, like climatologist Luca Mercalli, emphasize the benefits of high-altitude living, while others highlight the importance of preserving natural nightscapes. This trend reflects a broader shift towards rural living in response to environmental concerns.
