Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Genoa" in English language version.
The population of Genoa in 1972 was 950,000. Today, it is under 680,000. The scary part is that Genoa isn't an isolated instance. Italy's birth rate has been below replacement level for over 75 years, leading to an aging population and a shrinking tax base.
