Top 25 Italian influencers

Italy holds very different passions together under one feed.

Footballers, singers, food creators, comedians and fitness faces all live here, with posts that switch between behind the scenes, recipes and live clips.

The biggest accounts are sport and music names, but the most reactive audiences often sit with food and entertainment creators, who post constantly for the same community.

Niche analytics

Who's on this list

Several very different worlds share a single country here. At the top you find the best-known names in sport, from football (Zaniolo, Insigne, Perišić, Lapadula) to athletics and tennis, and in music, with singers launching albums and tours. These are profiles with millions of followers, built on fame that started off Instagram.

Alongside them sits a second group that explains why the list stays useful for anyone working with brands: food creators who walk through recipes step by step, comedians and writers who bring their shows online, fitness faces who break down common myths, and fashion, travel and self-care profiles. These are the creators who post for a community rather than only a general audience, and they often record the highest engagement in the group.

Create a free account

Across the 2,412,890 creators in Italy, audiences engage about 2.7 times more per post than a typical account of the same size, and about 91% have a mostly real audience.

ClickAnalytic creator database (live) ·

Many profiles already list a management contact or a dedicated collaboration email in their bio, a sign of creators used to working with brands. Several are also registered on the AGCOM list, a recurring detail among the more structured Italian creators.

Sport and music carry the most-followed names, but the most reactive audiences often sit with food creators, comedians and fitness faces, who post consistently and speak to more defined communities. Some fitness profiles already show supplement discount codes in their bios, confirming a common practice of ongoing collaborations.

Our verdict

This ranking works well as a quick map of the most-followed Italian profiles on Instagram across several fields. For reach alone, the sport and music accounts are the natural starting point; for campaigns that need reactive communities, look at the food creators, comedians and fitness faces, who often record the highest engagement in the group.

The 25 shown are only a public selection. To filter by niche, audience size, follower quality and verified contact, you can explore the more than 2.4 million Italian creators we track inside ClickAnalytic.

Methodology

How we selected these creators

How we picked this list. We start from creators associated with Italy who have an active audience on Instagram, then rank by a combination of followers, engagement rate and audience quality.

Profiles must be recognizable people or creator accounts, recently active, with metrics that belong to the same Instagram account shown.

The 25 shown are the public selection; the full slice of Italian creators we track is much larger and is accessible inside the platform.

The figures above are a snapshot pulled on June 16, 2026, not a live feed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything brands ask before shortlisting Italian creators.

How is this ranking of Italian influencers ordered?

The 25 profiles are ordered by combining followers, engagement rate and audience quality on Instagram. It is not a simple follower count: how much the community reacts and how real the audience looks both count too.

Is the list only about Instagram?

Yes. All the metrics shown, followers, engagement and audience quality, refer to the Instagram profiles. Several of these creators are also active on YouTube or TikTok, but the numbers in the ranking describe Instagram only.

How do you assess audience quality and fake followers?

For each profile we calculate a real-audience share, meaning the portion of followers that reads as genuine and not inflated by suspicious accounts. Across the 25 shown, that share averages around 82 percent. On the full database you can see the same score creator by creator.

How do I find all the other Italian creators beyond these 25?

The 25 shown are only a selection. Inside ClickAnalytic you can search across the more than 2.4 million Italian creators we track, filtering by niche, city, audience size and follower quality.

Can I contact these influencers for a collaboration?

Many profiles already list a management contact or a collaboration email in their bio. On the database you also find verified contacts, so you can reach the right creators without manual research.

Why do some profiles with fewer followers have higher engagement?

Food creators, comedians and fitness faces often speak to a more defined community and get more reactions in proportion, while the big sport and music names have a much larger, more general audience. That is why we look at engagement and not just size.

How we know this

Where the numbers on this page come from.

ClickAnalytic indexes 400M+ creator accounts across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The figures in this ranking come from querying that database, cross-referenced with the Creator Economy Report 2026; card figures reflect the snapshot date shown on this page.
