(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 20 - Milan confirms itself as the most expensive city where to shop for food, in Naples about half is spent.
But Aosta holds the primacy of the most expensive services.
The data emerges from a survey by Codacons which compared the prices and rates of a basket of goods and services in the main Italian cities, to understand how the average receipt of Italians changes depending on the area of residence.
On the food shopping front in Milan, to fill a cart containing products ranging from fruit and vegetables to fish, about 116 euros are spent, 17.7% more than the national medium and even + 54% compared to the cheaper city, Naples, where for the same purchases are enough 75 euros.
For services, from gynecologist to dentist, passing through dyes and hairdressers, Aosta is the city where you spend the most, with an average of 458 euros for an ad hoc basket, 29.7% more than the national average.
Among the most expensive cities are also Trento and Bologna while the cheapest, according to the Codacons study, would be Naples, Pescara and Palermo.
There is no shortage of curiosities: for men's haircuts you should move to Catanzaro, where just 14.29 euros are enough against the 26.3 euros in Trieste, the cappuccino better in Rome (1.18 euros) than in Trento (1.68 euros), while the citizens of Turin spend an average of € 8.43 to wash and iron a suit, 25% less than the national average.
