Facebook today is the largest digital square in the world and in Italy. In our country it has continued to grow since 2008, when it was frequented by a few hundred thousand people. Then those early adopters gave way to a multitude of subscribers, about 36.7 million every month, which now better represents the Italian population. 55.5% are over the age of 36, while young people up to 24 years of age account for only 20% of the members. Because of its ability to reach so many people, the social network is the natural stage for influencers and celebrities who live in our country.
