The article investigates the impact of the Covid-19 crisis in the Lombardy region. This region has been strongly hit by the health crisis: More than 30% of the Covid-19 deaths in Italy occurred here. Against this background, the aim is understanding the reason why the impact of the pandemic has been so problematic in this regional case. In particular, the role played by the regulatory model characterizing the Lombardy's health care system will be considered. The central hypothesis is that the traditional weakness affecting territorial health care services in Lombardy as well as the lack of coordination of such services with the hospital system have played a crucial role (path-dependence) in undermine the contrast to the Covid-19 crisis in this region.

Abstract
The article investigates the impact of the Covid-19 crisis in the Lombardy region. This region has been strongly hit by the health crisis: More than 30% of the Covid-19 deaths in Italy occurred here. Against this background, the aim is understanding the reason why the impact of the pandemic has been so problematic in this regional case. In particular, the role played by the regulatory model characterizing the Lombardy's health care system will be considered. The central hypothesis is that the traditional weakness affecting territorial health care services in Lombardy as well as the lack of coordination of such services with the hospital system have played a crucial role (path-dependence) in undermine the contrast to the Covid-19 crisis in this region.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
