Riassunto analitico
The Italian Strategy for Inner Areas documents the decline of Italian peripheral lands, proposing a series of interventions in favor of their development. Would it be appropriate to spend public resources in favor of peripheral lands? The study, considering many contributions, documenting the mechanism of development, suggesting some channel through territorial inequality would become social inequality, limiting overall prosperity. Many exogenous factors, like technological change and urbanization, affected the divergent growth trajectories between centers and peripheral areas; other factors defined as endogenous, such as the quality of institutions and the ability to provide opportunities to individuals, have accelerated the trend, becoming a source of social inequality.

Abstract
The Italian Strategy for Inner Areas documents the decline of Italian peripheral lands, proposing a series of interventions in favor of their development. Would it be appropriate to spend public resources in favor of peripheral lands? The study, considering many contributions, documenting the mechanism of development, suggesting some channel through territorial inequality would become social inequality, limiting overall prosperity. Many exogenous factors, like technological change and urbanization, affected the divergent growth trajectories between centers and peripheral areas; other factors defined as endogenous, such as the quality of institutions and the ability to provide opportunities to individuals, have accelerated the trend, becoming a source of social inequality.
