Talk:Italian Mexican

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Few things that should be explored for this article... (1) Many regions in Italy (such as the Kingdom of Naples which included all of south Italy) were under Spanish domination. It is possible Italians made their way to mexico (as they did to other parts of the new world) as Spanish subjects and were not classified as "italians". This would, however, be prior to 1860 and the numbers could not have been great. (2) I understand some wealthier Italians (most with business interests from Milan and Torino) made their way to Mexico city in the 1970s- to escape a perceived political crisis (eurocommunism, red brigades, etc.). Most returned, but I am sure some have taken root. Can anyone shed some light on these issues. Mariokempes 16:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
