However, with the decline of manufacturing, the population decreased by approximately 20,000 until the early 21st century. Since then, the city's population has grown again, adding over six thousand residents, largely due to increased immigration from Asia, Eastern Europe, and North Africa. As of January 2023, the population was 83,700, with 12,000 (14%) being resident aliens. The population distribution by origin is as follows:<ref>{{cite web|title=Statistiche Istat |url=https://esploradati.istat.it//|publisher=Istat|access-date= 6 March 2024}}</ref>
