Most emigrants were from southern Italy and settled in '''New York, Chicago, and along the East Coast'''. Many emigrants from northern Italy settled in the '''coal and mineral mining towns''' across the United States. Other northerners later settled in '''northern California''' where a climate similar to their own existed. | Most emigrants were from southern Italy and settled in '''New York, Chicago, and along the East Coast'''.

====France Background==== | |||
*Italian migration into what is today France has been going on, in different migrating cycles, for centuries, beginning in prehistoric times right to the modern age. According to Robin Cohen, "about 5 million French nationals are of Italian origin if their parentage is retraced over three generations". According to official data of the Eurostat for 2012, the number of Italian citizens residing in France was 174,000. | |||
*Italian popular immigration to France only began in the late 18th century, really developed from the end of the 19th century until the World War I and became quite massive after this war. France needed workforce to compensate for the war losses and its very low birthrate. | |||
*Initially, Italian immigration to modern France (late 18th to the early 20th century) came '''predominantly from northern Italy (Piedmont, Veneto)''', then from '''central Italy (Marche, Umbria)''', mostly to the bordering '''southeastern region of Provence'''. It wasn't until after World War II that large numbers of immigrants from southern Italy immigrated to France, usually '''settling in industrialised areas of France, such as Lorraine, Paris and Lyon'''.<ref>"Italians in France", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians_in_France, accessed 19vApril 2020.</ref> | |||
