Data as of 2026-08-09· ISTAT

Ustica, in the province of Palermo, is home to 2 Brazilians — 0.15% of its 1,319 residents. That is the 849th-highest concentration of Brazilians of any of the 5,872 Italian comuni with at least 1,000 residents, and 14th within Sicilia.

Across the nationalities we track, Ustica counts 5 foreign residents in total, 0.38% of the population. The largest groups are Brazilians (2), Britons (1), Irish nationals (1).

Over the period 2019–2025, the number of Brazilians in Ustica has fallen, from 3 to 2 (-33%).

Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 4.4% of Ustica's population was born outside Italy — 1.5% outside the EU and 2.9% elsewhere in the EU. ISTAT does not publish this broken down by specific country at comune level, so it isn't directly comparable to the per-nationality citizenship figures above.

Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.

This lists the regimes we’ve published. Others exist that we haven’t encoded yet — we add one only once it has been checked against the legislation — so this isn’t a complete account of what might apply to you.
