The current population of Italy in 2021 is 60,367,477, a 0.16% decline from 2020.(“Marco Trends”, 2021)The Italians are Italy’s most populous ethnic group, accounting for 95% of the country’s overall population , about 6 million people, according to BBC. Albanians, Romanians, Ukrainians, and other Europeans are 2.5% than Africans with 1.5% and many other minorities make up the remaining 1% of the population. There were several descendants of the different ethnic groups that remained black in Italy and with time they accepted themselves as Italians. Italy doesn’t count its population by color. But it would be fair to say that the country is overwhelmingly white: the National Institute for Statistics reports that more than 92% of the country is ethnic Italian, which is often interpreted in practical terms as white. According to Varella 2021 , People between the ages of 45 and 54 made up the majority of the Italian population in 2019, accounting for 9.7 million people. Infants under the age of two years numbered around 1.3 million, making them the least common of all the categories covered.
Italy has one of the world’s oldest populations. In recent years, the proportion of the population aged 65 and older has steadily increased, while the proportion of younger individuals has decreased.
