Italy covers 300,267 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.2%% of all land on Earth, making it the 72nd largest country in the world and the 10th largest in Europe. At 43° latitude the old Mercator map inflates area by about 1.9×, so it drew Italy closer to 555,494 km² km² — a difference of roughly 85%%.
For scale: Italy is roughly the same size as Philippines (290,318 km² km²).
