Italian community
Among the city’s largest and most rooted communities.
Overview
Italians arrived in large numbers in the early 1900s and again after the Second World War, becoming one of Montreal’s defining communities. Little Italy (Petite-Italie), around the Jean-Talon Market, remains its symbolic heart, with major populations in Saint-Léonard, RDP and LaSalle.
Their influence runs deep in food, construction, business and civic life, well beyond cuisine alone.
