Italian Immigration

Italian immigration refers to the movement of Italians abroad, particularly from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, seeking better economic opportunities and escaping hardships like poverty and political instability. Many migrated to countries such as the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and Australia, where they contributed significantly to local economies and cultures. This wave of migration was driven by social and economic factors, and resulted in vibrant Italian communities overseas. Over time, Italian immigrants often integrated into their new societies, maintaining cultural traditions while also influencing shaping their adopted countries’ identities.
