General census year 2001 final data divided by Sub Municipal Areas of the city of Matera

The dataset contains the final data of ISTAT relating to the General Census of Population and Housing for the year 2001 divided by Sub Municipal Areas (Quartiers) of the city of Matera. Speaking of Census, it is good to draw a brief history of them. The first general population census in Italy dates back to 1861, the year of the unification of the country in the Kingdom of Italy and there were 26 million and three hundred thousand Italians. From 1861 to 2011, the census sessions took place every 10 years with the exceptions of 1891, due to the financial difficulties faced by the country and in 1941 due to the Second World War. Another exception is the Census of 1936, carried out only 5 years after the previous one following a legislative reform of 1930 that had changed its periodicity, immediately after carried over to ten years as still in force. At the present Census, the population recorded in our country was still less than 60 million.
