The distribution of the Italian community throughout the world
Contrary to its neighboring countries, Italy has not been the most colonizing European country.
Indeed, we realize that very few countries in the world speak Italian as an official language.
Among the countries where Italian is spoken, we have:
Swiss,
Croatia,
Slovenia,
The Vatican,
San Marino.
There are also numerous Italian communities throughout the planet.
The countries in which Italians are most present are:
Greece
Belgium
France and Corsica
Monaco
Tunisia
Albania
Romania
Brazil
Argentina
Uruguay
Costa Rica
USA
Canada
Mexico
Half of the population of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, has Italian origins.
Some former Italian colonies had Italian as their official language. Today it has almost completely disappeared. It is the case, among others, of:
Libya
Eritrea
Somalia
Ethiopia.
We therefore understand that Italian (and Italian culture) have developed mainly in Europe.
