Ethnic enclave populated by Italians
World map of first level subdivisions (states, counties, provinces, etc.) that are home to Little Italys or Italian neighbourhoods Little Italy is the catch-all name for anethnic enclave populated primarily byItalians or people of Italian ancestry, usually in anurban neighborhood . The concept of "Little Italy" holds many different aspects of theItalian culture . There are shops selling Italian goods as well asItalian restaurants lining the streets. A "Little Italy" strives essentially to have a version of the country of Italy placed in the middle of a large non-Italian city. This sort of enclave is often the result of periods ofItalian immigration , during which people of the same culture settled or were ostracized and segregated together in certain areas. As cities modernized and grew, these areas became known for their ethnic associations, and ethnic neighborhoods like "Little Italy" blossomed, becoming the areas they are today.
