Maps of Italy

[Peyrol]

A decent standard Italian is nowadays spoken by the totality of Italian population.
Probably only few people that live in south Tirolese area can't speak Italian because they tend to use German as mothertongue. But in the rest of the country everyone can understand, write and speak Italian.
The incidence of illiteracy in Italy is nowadays lower than 0.5%, it's impossible that 10% Italians don't speak their national language.

Don't feed the troll
Seriously, though, you will always find people that don't speak the finest Italian but virtually everyone can speak, read, write Italian.
(come to anglophone countries to see how even university-level educated people can't spell the language )

c'è chi non sa usare i congiuntivi, ma in generale tutti gli italiani sono in grado di capire e esprimersi in in lingua italiana, o almeno spero che sia così.

A me fa venire i brividi quella sull'inquinamento.

In pratica noi siamo i messi peggio insieme a Milano.

This map is interesting, in trentino alto adige there is the highest birth rate.
But the stereotype of huge families from southern Italy still exists.
