How many tourists in the summer in Italy?

Especially many people will come to Italy from the USA, which is associated with the choice of Pope Leon XIV. This is the first leader of the Catholic Church from this country.
Almost 1/5 of all visitors will flow into the most popular places such as Florence, Venice, Naples, Rome and Milan.
