Overview
The economy is mostly based on agriculture. San Bartolomeo lost some half of its population after World War II, due to extensive emigration.
The climate is sub-continental, with hot and dry summers, long and cold winters with extensive snowfalls. The average temperatures are +17/+27,5 °C in July, and +1,5/+6 °C in January. The town's greatest son was Rocky Marciano, born Rocco Marchegiano.
