According to my resource it's and Romanians, Albanians and Moroccansin that order. But I'm not arguing with your account.

A proposito. Romanians can learn Italian molto facile.

This past summer while in Italy I ran into a lot of Albanians.

Just read somewhere that Romanians are the largest
minority in Italy. Making Giovani's statics correct.
They say it's easy for Romanians
to learn Italian and Spanish.

Why do you want to know? That Italy is turning into a multi-cultural society? Just curious.

Why do you want to know? That Italy is turning into a multi-cultural society? Just curious.

The Roman Empire was composed of many ethnic groups, who spoke dozens of languages. Celts, Phoenicians, Berbers, Iberos from Spain, Jews, Arabs,
Germanic tribes, Egyptians, Africans both northern and southern and Greeks(Greeks are composed of many different ethic groups anche, Persians etc.
etc.) and they all become part of the Roman Empire. The term Roman was not an ethnic description but a political one. Rome successfully assimilated
many different groups and gradually extended Roman citizenship to conquered peoples. In AD 14 there were about 6 million citizens among the 50 million
inhabitants of the empire, and that number grew continually through the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

The Romans brought slaves from all over the known world to Rome and Italy in general.

How about Attila the Hun and his hords in Italy. Many stayed.

Scientists think the Etruscans of central Italy originally came from what is now Iraq!

So the Roman Empire beat modern Italy by hundred and hundeds of years as being a multi-cultural society!

Here's another mixture. Forced at that. Have met Ethiopians and Somalians who love Italy and speak fluent Italian.

Italian Somalia was a colony under Italian control from the 1880s until 1942 in the territory of the modern-day Northeast African nation of Somalia.

ITALIAN CONQUEST OF ETHIOPIA 1935-1936The Italian Government, however, refused to be deterred from carrying out its plan for conquest. On October 3, 1935 Italian armed forces invaded Ethiopia. ...
