The paper describes the evolution of the Italian provinces during the past few years, analysing the position predominantly expressed by district areas, in order to offer new evidence of the link between these district areas and the country's industrial development. To identify the districts, a procedure for indirect detection has been chosen which is based on identifying the predominant structural characterisation of the province. The study is divided into two phases: the first proceeds with conducted surveys of the growth performance in the years 1995-2007; the second evaluates the preliminary effects of the international crisis. The findings show a higher dynamic for provinces with a greater number of districts. As for the crisis years (2008-2009), these areas seem to suffer less recessionary impact. The econometric estimates indicate the presence of a district effect able to favourably influence the trend in industrial employment. The result is confirmed in the presence of two important control variables: sectoral dimension and the use of social welfare.
