Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1981–2019. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 4 of the 39 years between 1981 and 2019 for Italy. The missing 35 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.

Every year reported

Year	Adult literacy rate
2019	99.35
2011	98.85
2001	98.42
