I'll tell you why:
they are extremely promiscuous, they wanna have fun, not settle down. they are left leaning (They despise the idea of a nuclear family) and most of them are hardened feminists
>catholic culture
literally nobody practices in Italy. I lived in the US for a while, and most of the people there (from the retail worker, to the mailman, to the doctor and lawyer) are christians (they actually believe in God, pray, say grace before eating etc...). here everyone goes to church on xmas and easter and that's it. they get the sacraments just so they can get married in a Catholic Church.
>high homeownership rate
total bullshit, stats are inflated by the aging population/millions of baby boomer with like 17 rental properties. in Italy we have some of the lowest purchasing power of any developed country, so people are very reluctant to start a family
