Little Italy, Montreal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montreal's Little Italy (Italian Piccola Italia) runs along Saint Lawrence Boulevard, between Saint-Zotique and Jean Talon Streets.
It is one of the main centres of Montreal's Italian community, and is home to many fine Italian shops and restaurants, the Jean Talon market, as well as the Church of the Madonna della Difesa, built by Italian immigrants from the Campobasso area in Molise to commemorate the apparition of the Virgin Mary in La Difesa, an area of Campobasso.
Montreal's Little Italy was "party central" when Italy won the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
It is located in the Montreal borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.
