At the provincial level, compared to 2019, the year selected as a reference for the 2030 goal (a 50% reduction in the number of fatalities and serious injuries), 41 out of 107 provinces reported an increase in road deaths. Conversely, in 57 provinces, this number decreased, while 9 provinces saw stable figures. In Italy, by 2025, the reduction in fatalities relative to 2019 remains modest at 9.6%. The provinces that have already achieved the target of halving the number of fatalities compared to 2019 include Prato, Fermo, Crotone, Vercelli, Vibo Valentia, Isernia, and Siena.
The provinces with the most significant percentage increase, again compared to 2019 and moving away from the European target, are Aosta, Oristano, and Barletta-Andria-Trani. In terms of 2024, the most significant decrease in absolute numbers of fatalities in 2025 occurred in the provinces of Treviso (-29), Perugia (-26), and Naples (-20). On the other hand, the most notable increases in road deaths were recorded in Turin (+17), Macerata (+14), and Catania (+10). Most Sicilian provinces, starting with Palermo (+20 compared to 2019), contribute to Sicily having the highest increase in deaths compared to 2019 (+33). The regions with the most substantial decreases—in absolute numbers—of fatalities were Apulia (-51), Lombardy (-36), and Umbria (-26). The highest increase in fatalities in absolute numbers among the regions was observed in Piedmont (+27), the Marches (+13), and Liguria (+8).
In 12 provinces, the mortality rate (deaths per 1,000 accidents) was more than double the national average (16.2). The most critical situations were in Nuoro (52.8), South Sardinia (51.7), and Benevento (50.2). Prato, Fermo, Milan, Monza and Brianza, Genoa, Imperia, Rimini, and Varese are the provinces where accidents are less severe. The mortality rate there is below 10 deaths for every 1,000 accidents.
During 2025, as reported in data released last July, 419 pedestrians were killed in Italy (-10.9%), while the number of cyclists rose to 228 (+23.2%), with 30 involving electric bicycles (+50%), and 25 fatalities among scooter drivers and passengers (+8.7%). The highest number of pedestrian deaths occurred in the province of Rome (48; -26.2% compared to 2024), followed by Milan (18; -21.7%), Turin (16; +6.7%), and Naples (15; -37.5%). In the province of Rome, the highest number of cyclist deaths was reported as well (14 compared to 3 in 2024), followed by Modena (9 from 3 in 2024) and Latina (8, compared to 5 in 2024). Among the 25 fatalities involving scooters, 3 occurred in each of Rome and Turin, while 2 were in the provinces of Milan, Caltanissetta, and Messina.
