*Romanians in '''Italy''' became a significant population after 1999, due to a large wave of emigration. A large part of Romanian emigrants went to '''Spain or Italy''', whose national languages are Romance languages like Romanian. They were followed by another wave beginning in 2002, when Romanian citizens obtained the right to move to any Schengen Zone country without a visa. As of 2019, there were 1,145,718 Romanian citizens living in Italy.<ref>"Romanians in Spain", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians_in_Italy, accessed 5 July 2021.</ref> | |||
*Emigration to '''Spain''' started to increase slowly during the late 1990s, and exploded after 2002. By 2011, it reached a peak of nearly 900,000 people, after which the Romanian population has been steadily decreasing, falling to 669,434 by 2019.<ref>"Romanians in Spain", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians_in_Spain, accessed 5 July 2021.</ref> | |||
