Italian immigrants
Peninsula's American settlers
Italian immigrants are people who have moved from Italy to settle in another country.
The term most commonly refers to the massive wave of emigration from Italy between roughly 1880 and 1920, when millions left for the Americas: My great-grandparents were Italian immigrants who came through Ellis Island.
The phrase carries historical weight in discussions of American immigration, assimilation, and ethnic identity.
