From Wikipedia:
One-sixth of the Italian population or about 10 million people live in Lombardy (16.2% of the national population; 2% of the European Union (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union) population), making it the second most densely populated region in Italy after Campania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campania).
The population is highly concentrated in the Milan metropolitan area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_City_of_Milan) (2,000 inh./km2) and the Alpine foothills that compose the southern section of the provinces of Varese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Varese), Como (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Como), Lecco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Lecco), Monza and Brianza (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Monza_and_Brianza) and Bergamo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Bergamo), (1,200 inh./km2). A lower average population density (250 inh./km2) is found in the Po (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padan_Plain) valley and the lower Brescia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brescia) valleys; much lower densities (less than 60 inh./km2) characterise the northern mountain areas and the southern Oltrepò Pavese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oltrep%C3%B2_Pavese) subregion.[20] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombardy#cite_note-Regional_Statistical_Yearbook_2014-20)
The growth of the regional population was particularly sustained during the 1950s–60s, thanks to a prolonged economic boom, high birth rates, and strong migration inflows (especially from Southern Italy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Italy)). Since the 1980s, Lombardy has become the destination of a large number of international migrants, insomuch that today, more than a quarter of all foreign-born residents in Italy live in this region. As of 2016, the Italian national institute of statistics (ISTAT) estimated that 1,139,430 foreign-born immigrants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Italy) live in Lombardy, equal to 11.4% of the total population.The primary religion is Catholicism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church); significant religious minorities include Christian Waldenses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldenses), Protestants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism) and Orthodox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Christianity), as well as Jews (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews), Sikh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh) and Muslims (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam).
