Answer 1

just boot heel

Answer 2

Italy  is 301,318 km².

USA is 9.600,000km²

Making Italy about 3.1% of the USA.  

This falls to 1.4% if you total all of the N. American continent, bearing in mind Canada is the size of the USA and Italy combined at over 9.900,000km².

Answer 3

Land wise Italy is about the same size as New Mexico, population at the moment is about 60 million.

I like the answer about California best...

not as wide...

takes a full day - plus - to drive top to bottom

Answer 6

No it's not 25%. That's a joke. If anything it's about 1%. Italy is no bigger than California and that takes up about 3-5% of the U.S.
