As of January 2025, about 59 million people lived in Italy. Around 29 million individuals were males and 30 million people were females. The most populated area of the country was the north-west, where 15.9 million people lived. Furthermore, the southern regions counted 13.4 million inhabitants, representing the second most populous area of the country. Regional census The northern region of Lombardy is the most populous region of Italy. One-sixth of all the Italian population is concentrated in this area. Lazio and Campania follow with approximately 5.7 million and 5.6 million individuals, respectively. On the other hand, Aosta Valley, a northern region bordering to France and Switzerland, counted 123,000 inhabitants, representing the smallest region of Italy in terms of residents as well as area. More and more Italians are moving abroad In recent years, the number of Italians reported living abroad increased. In 2022, 5.8 million people lived outside Italy, almost three million more than in 2006. The country hosting the largest Italian population is Argentina, while other large Italian communities reside in Germany, Switzerland, and Brazil.

This is a sample dataset for the Biodemography Workshop. Within this dataset, input files related to demographic statistics will be considered, specifically population by gender and by Nuts2 in Italy, as well as shapefiles for map creation. The variables to be analyzed include the ratio between male and female, and vice versa. The final output consists of two maps. The data source is Istat, which provides these with a CC BY license: 1-https://demo.istat.it/app/?i=POS&l=it 2-https://www.istat.it/it/archivio/222527 To conduct the analysis, the open-source software R-Studio was used. The data management methodology will also be outlined in a Data Management Plan, written using Overleaf, in which we will provide more detailed information.

This statistic shows the total population of men and women in Italy from 1871 until 2015. From the graph we can see that the total number of women was actually lower than the total number of men in the late 1800s, and it was only at the turn of the twentieth century that a margin appeared and the number of men grew at a lower rate than the number of women. At the turn of the twentieth century there were 16.2 million men, and 16.3 million women. From this point onwards the difference begins to grow. The margin narrows again in the interwar years, where the number of women exceeds the number of men by less than 800,000, however this gap grows to over 1.2 million in 1950. Although Italy was heavily involved in the Second World War and subsequent civil war, where many populations (particularly the male populations) experienced a large decline, we cannot see the effects of the war on Italy's population from this graph. From 1950 onwards the margin stays between 1.2 and 1.8 million throughout the rest of Italy's history, and both populations grow very similarly, until 2020 where the population of men is just under 29.5 million and the population of women is just over 31 million, with the number of women dropping in the last five years whereas the number of men has increased.

As of January 2021, Italy's teenager population amounted to roughly four million. Young people aged 16 years old represented the largest group, with 295 thousand males and 278 thousand females. Overall, there were slightly more male teens were than female ones.

Here, we provide raw abundance data from a small-scale case study on ground-dwelling macro-invertebrate communities in an extensively managed dry pasture and an intensively managed hay meadows in the LT(S)ER area "Val Mazia/Matschertal" in South Tyrol, Italy. The fauna was sampled with the pitfall trap methods over a full vegetation period (split in two halves). Araneae were identified to species level, the rest – where possible – to family level.

The abundance data (activity densities) can be found as absolute numbers (i.e. individuals per pitfall trap) and as standardised numbers (i.e. individuals per sampling day). Additionally, we provide the sex ratios for all the Araneae species.
