%X Upon leaving Tuscany to become Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold II left some notes (1790) that prove very interesting to today¡¯s economist. They show how a holistic approach to the socio-economic characteristics of a region should always be considered, starting from a people¡¯s spirit, or ¡®representative character¡¯. This article summarises Leopold¡¯s notes and draws some implication for the modern study of urban and regional economics.
