Although over 90 percent of Italians formally belong to the Catholic Church, the results of a recent survey reveal a different relation between Italian citizens and the Church. According to a survey conducted in 2020, only 25 percent of respondents defined their relationship to the Church as traditional. On the contrary, over 60 percent of interviewees declared either not to be practicing or not to be Catholic.
