The Italian Population
A few years ago in 2013, the population of Italy was estimated to be about 59.83 million, and had since increased to approximately 61.14 million. Although 96% of the population of Italy consists of Italians, the country is very culturally diverse, with people from all ethnicities, whether they are North African Arabian, Albanian, German, Austrian or another group in Europe. Since Italy is bordered by countries like France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, these have had a large impact on what is defined as 'Italian' culture.
It is also apparent that the median age of people in Italy is about 45 and 69% of the population is urban.
The total population of Italy consisted of 68.8% of people living in urban areas (cities), the most densely populated city being Milan and Naples

Italy's population is equivalent to 0.84% of the Earth's total human population, and in 2014, it was recorded by the Central Intelligence Agency that Italy's population growth rate was 0.3%, with 8.84 births in a population of 1,000, and 10.1 deaths in a population of 1,000. It was also recorded that for every 1,000 people, there were 4.29 migrants from various countries.
