Demographic evolution

Emigration

Since the end of World War II until the late 1960s, the town's population declined considerably due to emigration. The place of choice for many of these emigrants was the Canadian city of Montreal. Montreal even has its own Provvidenti Association. http://www.fondazioneprovvidenti.com/
