Italians in Spain
Italians in Spain are one the largest communities of immigrant groups in Spain, with 228,283 Italian citizens in the country;[1] conversely, 135,020 residents in Spain were born in Italy.[2]
The immigration rate of Italian nationals increased in the second part of the 2010s, and, in 2018, Italians trumped Chinese nationals as the third biggest foreign nationality in the Spanish workforce.[3] Most of the Italians citizens dwell in Catalonia, the Community of Madrid, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.[3]
Many of the Italian immigrants are not born in Italy but emigrate from Argentina or Uruguay,[4] although in 2018 the largest fraction of the entering Italian immigrants was indeed that of Italian citizens born in Italy, also featuring a limited increase of Italians born in Venezuela.[5]
