“Italy is disappearing,” Twitter and Tesla boss Elon Musk scoffed when the national statistics office released the latest Italian birth figures last week. The statistics showed a new negative record: last year, for the first time since Italian unification in 1861, Italian women gave birth to fewer than 400,000 “bambini” (children). To be precise: 392,000 children were born in Italy in 2022, with around 800,000 deaths. In 2008, 580,000 children were born. If things continue like this, by the year 2100 there will only be 50 million of the 59 million Italians left today, according to calculations by the European statistics office Eurostat.
