Abstract

Shared time is the set of moments that we are free to use in connection with others. Our research asks where Italians use their shared time in similar ways. Based on the proportion of time spent in shared activities, we have identified ten "lifestyles". Each "style" unites people who have a similar distribution of shared time among activities. Between 2003 and 2008 all Italian macro- regions moved in the same direction and roughly the same size. The inhabitants of various areas tend to converge on the normal "lifestyle", eliminating the particularities that differentiate one type from the other. In the following period, which runs from 2008 to 2013, Italy appears fossilized on the choice made during the previous phase: the polygons enclosing the trajectories of the two years overlap, and all the trajectories are shortened. The whole decade can thus be captured by the expression "fossilized normalization" of the uses of shared time.
