If anyone is interested, the decrease in Italy is due to a decrease to homicides related to mafia. In 1991, the year when peak homicide rates were registered in the last 40 years or so, there were 3,38 victims per 100k inhabitants, that is 1916 victims. Of these, more than 700 were killed by mafias.

I was quite interested looking at these values and then I accidentally glanced at "Other countries".
USA: 5.4 ... not really surprised. Brazil, Mexico, South Africa damn. Venezuela: Holy fuck.
