Italian Venezuelans
Italian Venezuelans are Venezuelan citizens of Italian descent. The word may refer to someone born in Venezuela of Italian descent or to someone who has emigrated to Venezuela from Italy. Italians were among the largest groups of European immigrants to settle in the country. Approximately 5 million Venezuelans have some degree of Italian ancestry. Italians began arriving in Venezuela in massive numbers in the last half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries. Yet Italians began to transmit a sound cultural heritage, giving and receiving demonstrations of social empathy, which contributed to their integration and to the huge flows into Venezuela in 1947 and in 1948. The massive presence of travelers, explorers, missionaries, and other peninsular and insular Italian immigrants over the course of almost 500 years made Venezuela acquire a Latin vocation instead of a Hispanic one. Italians also influenced Venezuelan accent, given its slight sing-songy intonation. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Italian Puerto Ricans
Italian Puerto Ricans ( it, italo-portoricani; es, ítalo-puertorriqueños) are Puerto Rican-born citizens who are fully or partially of Italian descent, whose ancestors were Italians who emigrated to Puerto Rico during the Italian diaspora, or Italian-born people in Puerto Rico.

Practically only a few dozen religious (with some adventurers and traders) formed the nucleus of this small Italian emigration until in the early 19th century. From 1815, due to the Spanish Royal Decree of Grace, a few hundred Italians began to arrive in Puerto Rico. One of the places where they settled was Santa Isabel. In fact, the Spanish crown issued this royal decree on 10 August 1815 with the intention of attracting European settlers to Puerto Rico and Cuba. The Spanish government, believing that the pro-independence Puerto Rican and Cuban would lose po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italian Peruvians
An Italian Peruvian is a Peruvian citizen of Italian descent. The term may also refer to someone who has immigrated to Peru from Italy. Among European Peruvians, Italians were the second largest group of immigrants to settle in the country. History Spanish colonial era Between 1532 and 1560, 50 Italians established in Lima (Viceroyalty of Peru) and Callao, mostly from Liguria and Tuscany, such as Martin from Florence, Pietro Catagno, Pietro Martín from Sicily (all of them involved in Atahualpa's capture), Juan Bautista Pastene, born in Genoa in 1505 and also present since the beginning of the Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire. Radicati di Primeglio has done extensive research about Italians in Lima and he found the well-documented existence of 343 Italians in Lima between 1532 and 1650 (this number can vary because many Italians were not registered). From these 343 Italians: 124 were from Genoa, 28 from Venice, 28 from Corsica, 15 from Naples, 11 from Milan, 10 from Rome, 5 ...

Italian Paraguayans
Italian Paraguayans are one of the most prominent ethnic minorities in Paraguay, consisting mainly of Italian residents who migrated to Paraguay or Paraguayan-born citizens of Italian descent. Italian immigration to Paraguay has been one of the largest migration flows this South American country has received. Italians in Paraguay are the second-largest immigrant group in the country after the Spaniards. The Italian embassy calculates that nearly 40% of the Paraguayans have recent and distant Italian roots: historian De Cecco thinks that more than 3 million Paraguayans are descendants of Italian emigrants to Paraguay. History During colonial centuries only a few Italians went to Paraguay: mostly were catholic missionaries, but there were also some merchants and a few soldiers under spanish rule. The War of the Triple Alliance (1865–70) was the bloodiest in Latin American history. The war was a disaster for Paraguay, which lost two-thirds of all its adult males. Paraguay's popula ...

Italian Immigration To Mexico
An Italian-Mexican or Italo-Mexican ( es, italo-mexicano, it, italo-messicano), is a Mexican citizen of Italian descent or origin. The ancestors of most Mexicans of Italian descent arrived in the country during the late 19th century. Their descendants have generally assimilated into mainstream Mexican society. History During the colonial era there was a small number of non-Spanish European entrants, in particular Catholic missionaries. There are records of a few Italian soldiers and mariners in early New Spain. Prominent among the Italians was Juan Pablos (born Giovanni Paoli in Brescia), who founded the first printing shop in the Americas. The most important missionary was Eusebio Kino who led the evangelization of Pimería Alta. Italian-Mexican identity rests on the common experience of migration from Italy in the late 19th century, a period characterized by a general Italian diaspora to the Americas. About 13,000 Italians emigrated to Mexico during this period, and at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
