According to incomplete statistics, the Vatican population of about 1400 people, which has a permanent population of only 540 people, and mainly Italians.But from the outside, you can't tell the difference between Italian and Vatican people.The only thing that can be distinguished is their identity card.Of course, these Vatican people, most of the time they also live in Rome.
