Answer: Brazil with 25 million which is about 13% of the total Brazilian population.

Argentina on the other hand has 18 million which is little more than half of it's population. 3/4 of Buenos Aires the capitol of Argentina is of Italian descent.
Quindi this is why Argentinos speak Spanish with a distintive Italian accent.

Countries with significant Italian populations

1. Brazil 25 million

2. Argentina 18 million

3. United States 17.2 million

4.France 2 million

5.Venezuela 1.9 million

6. Uruguay 1.5 million

7. Canada 1.3 million

8. Australia 1 million

9. Switzerland 750,000

10. Germany 611,000

11. Belgium 280,000

12. United Kingdom 133,000

13. Chile 150,000

14. Costa Rica 122,500

15. Paraguay 100,000

16. Spain 95,337

17. South Africa 35,000

18. Cuba 33,245

19. San Marino 28,000

20. Luxembourg 20,000

21. Croatia 19,636

22. Peru 13,500

23. Monaco 10,000

24. Ireland 5,811

25. Mexico 5,000 (Before the year 2080 Mexico will have 30,000 people of Italian descent)

Just by chance was talking to this lady from Peru the other day who is of Italian descent.
She was trying to tell me that Peru had the most people from Italy after Argentina.
I had mentioned Venezuela having more but she had said no. Well, turns out Peru is
only #23 with only 13,500 and Venezuela is #5 with 1.9 million.

I'm very surprised the UK has so few Italians at 133,000! How accurate are these figures likely to be because it seems as if I know 132,999 of them! :D

Italian Britons also known as Britalians, are British citizens whose ancestry originates in Italy. The phrase may refer to someone born in the United Kingdom of Italian descent or to someone who has themselves emigrated from Italy to the United Kingdom. More specific terms used to describe British Italian people include: Italian English, Italian Scots and Welsh Italians.

According to the 2001 census a total of 107,002 Italian-born people are currently living in the United Kingdom, of whom 38,694 reside in London.[1] The British Embassy estimates that 19,000 Britons recide in Italy, and 150,000 Italians recide in the UK. [
