Analyses of the recent regional elections suggest a distinction between town and country which does not take into account the settlement sprawled patterns of Lombardy. This paper presents a description of Lombardy: through a systematic statistical data analysis and thematic cartography allows to reach some conclusions about the relationship between the election results and settlement patterns.

Keywords: Lombardy; elections; municipalities; settlement patterns; sprawl
