The three cities alone collect over 86% of the proceeds from fines. Thus motorists are harassed by continuous violations of the Highway Code. But in all of Lombardy there is a municipality that alone has set the absolute record

The ranking of the capitals
The data collected by the site Facile.it and analyzed from the archive of Siop, or the information system for the operations of public bodies, have drawn up a ranking of the provincial capitals most subject to Highway Code fines. In first place, almost obvious, there is Milan which alone generates enormous revenues, mainly due to the fines linked to the numerous limited traffic zones. Let’s talk about approximately 147 million euros in fines.
The second in the ranking is Brescia with 12.4 million and in third place Bergamo with 7.5 million collections. They follow Pavia (6.3 million), How (5.4 million), Mantua (3.5 million), Monza (3.4 million), Varese (2.8 million), Cremona (2.2 million) e Lecco (1.7 million). While bringing up the rear, and this time fortunately, they are the city of Sondrio and of Praiseswith, respectively, 652 thousand and 490 thousand euros.
Furthermore, the Lombard capital is also in first place in the ranking for the comparison of the “per capita” values of the sanctions with 108 euros per head, unlike Pavia with its 90 euros, Mantua with 73 euros, Como 65 euros, Brescia and Bergamo with 63 euros, Lecco with 36 euros per capita, as well as Varese. Then there is Cremona with 32 euros and Sondrio with 31 euros. Latest Monza (28 euros) and, once again, Lodi, with a per capita fine of just 11 euros.
The record-breaking village in Lombardy
Among the statistics and data analyzed, the eye falls on a surprising fact regarding a small municipality in Lombardy. In all there are 3 thousand souls who, however, thanks to the fines, collect approximately 2.5 million euros a year – much more than four capital cities.
Let’s talk about Buguggiate (province of Varese)which earns slightly less from traffic violations than its own capital. Among the other smaller municipalities, i.e. those with less than 4 thousand inhabitants, Vellezzo Bellini (Pavia) also stands out which, out of 3,398 citizens, has collected more than 986 thousand eurosAnd Bellagio (province of Como), which with just 3,573 inhabitants has collected almost 899 thousand euros.
