86% of homicides of women in Italy are committed by a partner or a family member.

Omissions

• The claim does not specify a reference year; the 86% figure matches ISTAT's 2024 data (about 100 of 116 female homicide victims), while the same indicator was lower in 2023 (about 96 femicides out of 117 women killed, roughly 82%), so the share fluctuates year by year.
• The exact percentage is derived from ISTAT's published counts and rates (116 women killed; 0.21 per 100,000 partner/ex-partner rate ≈ 63 victims; 37 victims killed by other family members) rather than read as a single published percentage in the located snippets.
• ISTAT distinguishes the narrower figure for partner/ex-partner alone (about 54% of female homicides in 2024) from the broader 'partner or family member' definition used in the claim; the broader definition is the one that yields ~86%.
