How they differ

Italy also has the larger population: 58.9 million against 7.8 million, 7.55× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 195 in Italy against 137 in Togo: Italy is 1.42× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 3,960 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Italy at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Togo at 9°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Italy as 9.59× the size of Togo instead of 5.30×.
Together Italy and Togo cover 358,000 km², close to the size of Germany (358,000 km², 0.1% smaller).

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
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.
