If I'm not mistaken, Germany actually has a slightly older population than Italy. 

According to Wikipedia you are right. Median age of Germany is 47.1, while for Italy it is 45.5.

Italy's situation is likely more directly correlated to how tight their family units are than anything. A tragedy, really. What is otherwise an admirable way of life, and an enviable closeness, is now effectively weaponized against them.
