Nowadays it's not possible giving the reliable measurement of the state due to a chronic lack of knowledge at every territorial level, from the national to the municipal. The major problem is the absence of a clean border between urbanized areas and countryside, unlike other northern European Countries. This paper present the results in progress of the research about urban increasing in Italian regions in the last mid century. Several statistical elaboration show some effect and trends on landscape structure.
