=== Immigration into Italy  ===
Many people moved to Italy during the following periods:
'''Early 1200s.''' Waldensian emigrants from France moved to northern Italy as a result of religious persecution.
'''1431 to about 1450.''' Thousands of Greek and Albanian Christians moved into Italy as a result of persecution under the Muslim Turks. They settled in coastal areas of the Italian peninsula and in Sicilia.
'''1492 to 1692.''' Thousands of Jewish emigrants moved into Italy because of religious persecution. Most of them came from Spain and Portugal. Many settled in Roma and other major cities.
Unfortunately, very few immigration sources exist for Italy. Instead, look for emigration records of the country from which your ancestor moved.
