- Their centres are about 5,850 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Italy at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Gujarat at 23°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Italy as 2.57× the size of Gujarat instead of 1.63×.
- Together Italy and Gujarat cover 486,000 km², close to the size of Spain (499,000 km², 2.8% bigger).
- The gap between them, 117,000 km², is about the size of Benin (116,000 km²).
- At Gujarat's density, Italy would have 98.6 million people (it has 58.9 million). At Italy's density, Gujarat would have 36.0 million (it has 60.4 million).

- Italy lies about 20° of latitude (roughly 2,220 km) north of Gujarat.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Italy would have about 5,120 m² and each person in Gujarat about 3,050 m².
- Laid side by side, Italy and Gujarat would cover 486,000 km², about the same size as Spain.
- Together they have 119.2 million people, 96% as many people as Japan.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
