So Italy, a mid-sized European country, has a population 1/5 the size of the United States? Why is that .. surprising?

I guess what they mean is the following:

Italy is about the size of michigan (300vs250km²) but has about 6 times the population (58Mio vs 10Mio). The population density of Italy is 5 times as high.
