When did France overtake Italy economically, both per capita

Well I mean it might be 16th century if you took all of the territory of modern Italy but remember there were many states in this area.

>implying they have overtaken the part that matters

North and Central Italy is still richer than France. Terronia is Africa.

that's actually pretty surprising
was north Italy one of the first places to industrialize then?

>per capita
France only had a clear advantage by the industrial revolution
>overall
France has a much larger population though Italy may have had a larger economy during the renaissance up to the Italian wars

Even though we had a severe lack of coal, the north was able to industrialize through hydroelectric power because of the Po river.

Italy didn't exist until the late 19th century, so...

italy itself is a French creation: they had French monarch, they literally copypasted French civil code and they were used as sandbox so the French army could antagonize austria.

Top kek, no. The north west industrialized a bit later than France. The north east during fascism and exploded after ww2.
Northern Italy's wealth has a similar origin to West Germany's: policentrism.

House Savoia has been based in Italy since the 12th century. Just because they're named after a french place doesn't mean they're french, moron.
