Cold Weather in Italy is found up north near the Alps and through the Appenne Mountains, while the Hot Weather is lower down. The driest and wettest parts both conform to hot and cold areas of Italy.
Where is there less people, and where are more?
There is less people away from major/large towns and cities, and more within the borders of the cities.
This is because it's more convenient to live near a town rather than away from it- having to go kilometers to do the groceries or sell your produce is inconvenient. Plus, living in major cities gives you more options for shopping, residence and a place where your neighbor isn't 3 miles down a dusty dirt road.
