According to recent estimates, approximately 2.7 million Muslims live in Italy, accounting for around 4.9% of the country's total population. However, the figure may vary depending on the estimates and sources consulted. Migration, the acquisition of citizenship and demographic changes has played an important role in shaping Italy's Muslim population. Islam has also become a prominent part of the country's religious and cultural landscape.
Obtaining precise figures for Italy's Muslim population is not straightforward, as the country's official census does not systematically record population figures by religion. As a result, estimates published by different organizations vary. The claim that Islam is the largest religion among foreign residents in Italy also needs to be understood in the proper context. Available estimates indicate that Christianity remains the most prominent religious group among the country's foreign population.
