Land and terrain
Italia · WorldCover 2021 / Copernicus GLO90
Choose a territory and, optionally, a comparison territory. Read elevation, slope and cropland area with their valid support. WorldCover describes 2021 land cover; it is not a current crop map.
Administrative map
Dated ISTAT administrative geometry, simplified only for display. All20regions and their islands are retained; numerical weights use the original full geometries.
Choose on the map or from this list. Agricultural statistics use a separate statistical territory.
Selected territory: Italia
Scroll wide tables horizontally. With a keyboard, use Tab to focus the table area, then use the arrow keys.

Limitations and conditions
- No overall risk score, probability of default or yield forecast is calculated.
- MADIA history and the 1991–2020 normal are prepared separately. Comparability with current BQ ERA5 daily data is not yet admitted; current-versus-MADIA anomalies are unavailable.
- Land rights, abstraction permits and farm eligibility require separate documents.
- Istat geometry represents all 20 regions, including Sicily and Sardinia. Indicators retain their own spatial support; a regional mean is not a field measurement.
- WorldCover 2021 v200 is not a 2026 crop map. Copernicus GLO90 is a surface model, not a guaranteed bare-earth terrain model.
- All 20 Italian regions: land, soils, agricultural statistics and modelled daily weather series for 2025. Each source retains its period and coverage. ET0, drought and irrigation scenarios are not yet included.
