That’s not a lawn, that’s just the ground man. It’s not part of private domiciles. Besides, that looks like a lovely place and can assure you most places here are not as mantained.

I can’t tell what’s really wrong with the picture, lack of finishing ?

For Italian standards,that’s well-kept. Don’t expect the kind of maintenance Americans do with their lawn.

The south especially gallipoli has other issues to tackle and roadside shrubbery maintenance is on the bottom of the list

I must say there is a difference between north and south on this. Go look at trentino/veneto

Probably summer and there’s not like a huge workforce of public gardeners for each small town to maintain everything very well

Not all areas beside residential buildings is owned by the building itself. The trimming of the weeds in those areas and even on that section near the road is generally done by the town workers.
Sadly most town are on a shoestring budget, which puts cutting weed in residential areas on a low priority, or not cutting at all. Some citizens try to keep the front of their house clean even if it isn’t owned by them, but many other can’t spare the time or money to do it themselves either.
There can be also a cynical view in italy were people think „it isn’t mine, why should I care care“, which perpetrate the constant situation of trash, dirt and unkept roads and public spaces.

It’s just grass. I know it’s weird for you to see a surface that is not a parking lot or a lawn, but sometimes grass just do that.

So just to give some context to OP and to italians.
Cities work very differently in europe and in north america.
Some things that in Italy we consider „pubblic“ are private (owned by the building) in north america.
As we know public services are not exactly famous to be precise and well maintained (pretty much everywhere in the world) so you will see a big difference in the areas between private HOA/strata building in north america and public land in europe.
Not only that. Even the way HOA/strata work in north america is very different from the „condomini“ in Italy. Condomini rules are not really enforced that much unless someone specifically sue someone else about it. And they don’t include a lot of services that are public in europe (like trash). HOA/strata instead are often required by government to maintain certain services and in certain places they are even forced to send financial documents every X years to be sure they are doing all of that.
These 2 things together create a big difference in the areas around these buildings that will be more „maintained“ in north america.
But obviously there’s also a cost. Because in Italy most of those things are public the condominio fee is often very low (under 100/month) while in north america is not impossibile to see buildings with 500-1000 hoa/strata fee a month.

That’s like going to the ghetto in Detroit and asking why there’s trash and abandoned buildings. Poverty makes esthetics non important.
