Arabs in Italy
Arabs in Italy (Italian: Arabi in Italia, Arabic: عرب إيطاليا) are mostly expatriates from a range of Arab countries, particularly Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Eritrea, Palestine, and Iraq; and also small groups from Jordan and Sudan. As a result of mixed marriages and naturalization, the category includes many Italian nationals and second-generation children of expatriates.
