Italy Overview

With a population of about 58.9 million, Italy is one of the most populous countries in the world. As the 72nd largest country by area, Italy has many major cities that have large populations of residents that contribute to its rank as the world’s 25th most populous country. Rome, the country’s capital city, is also the most populous, with over 2.7M residents. Italy also has one other city, Milan, with a population that exceeds one million.
The majority of Italians live in urbanized areas, with a total of 31% of the population living in urban cities and towns as of 2016. This country has some of the oldest cities in the world, so it is not surprising that these cities have only continued to grow through the years. Its rich history and culture combined with its role in such industries as finance and agriculture has led to many immigrants coming to enjoy the sights and opportunities that the major cities have to offer, while natives in the rural areas also move toward the cities for these same reasons.
