Chris M So? Just because your last name is Rodriguez, doesn’t mean that your other surnames aren’t Italian, nor negate the fact that you have Italian ancestry. Cristian Rodriguez of Uruguay (soccer player) his second surname is BARONE. A lot of Uruguayan soccer players are maternally Italian, even though they have Spanish surnames.

My girlfriend from Argentina struggled when here in the US, she faced a dilemma on what "ethnicity box" to choose on the census because ignorant Americans think all Latinos are Amerindians/mestizos. Latino is a cultural heritage, for those who don't know it (you can be a Latino white, black, or even Asian). Also, Americans and other Latin Americans think Argentinians are white Americans when they see them for the first time... until they hear them speak Spanish, and even then some think they are speaking another European language. LOL. Also, when Brazilians (white) come to the US, they face the same awkwardness and are told: "But you are not black" as if everyone in Brazil should be black. And even worse, they think Brazilians speak Spanish. NO! Brazilians speak PORTUGUESE. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF MORE, dear Americans. Argentina is the Italy of the Americas indeed. Most north Italians went there between 1880 and 1950 and they settled in the center and south part of the country. The northern part of the country remained mostly with the Spanish and indigenous mixed people. Because of this, today you can see a distinct racial makeup between the north and the center-south. The food they eat is basically Italian. The popular Argentinian accent is pretty much Spanish with Italian accent. The popular "porteño" dialect has many Italian words. The hand and arm gestures, etc. Most Argentinians can get Italian citizenship if their grandparents were Italian.

My opinion on why Italians decided to settle in Latin America is Italians are culturally similar to Spanish/Portuguese i.e. Iberian culture (due to Roman's conquest and influence on the Iberian land) which made it easy for them to assimilate unlike the Italians who emigrated to North America where they would face discrimination and fights because they were considered "less white" by their Anglo neighbors. Fascinating enough, well not really, due to Italians' easy time settling in Latin America, they managed to preserve much of their Italian culture. Argentina is a great place to experience "Italian culture" on a budget. Meanwhile, in North America, most of the Italian culture is non-existent as Italian-Americans are extremely Americanized and the only thing that is Italian is their last name. I noticed you mention mostly Northern Italians settled in Latin America which is interesting considering the fact that most of the Italians who moved to North America are mostly fro Southern Italy.

In my state particularly there was a huge amount of Italian and German immigration but also small quantities of Polish and Arabs, and in the recent year an influx of immigrants from Cameroon, Angola and other African countries who make partnerships with the government to exchange college students or people running away from poverty, subhuman conditions, etc. Take a look at Nova Veneza, a small town near my hometown where they even have a gondola sent from Italy at the town square. There's also "Gemellaggios" with cities here in Brazil. Political agreements to exchange culture, economical knowledge, strategies and incentives. It's the name given for an agreement between "brother/sister towns" from different countries.

I believe Italians were able to be aculturated in South American countries because there was not a language barrier like their was with Italian or otther immigrants in the USA like Poles, Germans, Greeks ot even Western Jews from France. The Italian language was so similar to the dominant society of Spanish or Portuguese (Brazil) speakers they could almost be understood in their native language by foreign speakers of the Americas. It is far easy to fit into a society if speak a language which is familiar especially when you consider portions of the Italian homeland was occupied by the Spaniard and French Empires. Moreover the religion help as well since there was not much in terms of how each culture see the world with both being heavy Catholic influenced.

It wasn't just the language or religious barrier, It was also an economic phenomenom. The Southern Cone of South America is the most liberal region of Latin America but it is also heavily influenced by a civic prometropoli mindset because the chiefs of the wealthy families would own shares of cattle in the countryside but send their sons to study in the capital cities near the ocean to administer their sales. This meant so that the nations would be directly influenced by the economic trades shipped from the ports to the world and the countryside would provide the capital cities with the rough materials to sell and get thir share only after the exchange was made and the capital cities had handled the trade income. Eventually this process expanded so much during the XIX century that the capital cities began to actively seek for industrial investors from economically empoverish Europe to process said rough materials and improve their sales. This created a huge demand for qualified workers and it made it so much easier for foreign workers to incorporate and find jobs becuase of it.

Yes, happy to contribute and thank you to our host for this delightful presentation. I’m older and have been going to South America for decades. In Buenos Aires, it wouldn’t surprise us if they started speaking Italian. Now, that is changing with migration of their neighbors.

As Brazilian man born in São Paulo and who's 3/4 Italian (and 1/4 mixed), I can totally appreciate everything said in the video. The Italian influence is so huge in Brazil that even those who have no Italian blood can barely tell if something is an Italian tradition or a Brazilian one. Take language for example. Portuguese, like English, mostly constructs the plural form of its words by adding the letter "s" to it whereas Italian doesn't. Now, you can go about the entire state of São Paulo and you will not be surprised to hear people saying stuff like "os cara" or "as coisa", where the "S" should be there to indicate plural, but isn't. And they don't even realize they're doing it. Really fascinating.

By the way, yes we Italians have the habit, good or bad as you prefer, to trying adapt and integrate ourselves in the local community and learn habits, languages etc. It's really extremely rare to find out Italians that won't try to adapt and instead wants to stick to their own culture. One of our biggest philosophers once said that the Italian immigrants in Germany wouldn't be called "Italians" after a couple of generations, but "Germans". We are too comprehensive with the locals. Accepting to change ourselves for the sake of good cohexistance... You will not find people like us anywhere in the world.

Italians in brazil rarely marrige with black people, 1 reson is that in São Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, doesent has that much black people like other parts of the country, we create the called Sociedade Italiana de Mutuo Socorro, to help each other, because the portuguese used us like slaves

I'm confused by Anglos (specially Americans) being confused by the massive Italian influence in Latin America, like they're the only ones that ever received European migration (and also how they put all things "Spanish" in a bag). In my dad's region, Santander and Norte de Santander, you don't say "abuela or abuelo" for grandparents, you say "nona o nono", for example, among other words that have influenced the regional dialect.

Your first mistake was thinking that Anglos care about south America in general. Most Anglos in the United States only knew of Argentina as that country that is so poor that it couldn't even distribute shoes to some of it's children. Look into the Toms brand of shoes, it was a really popular company here in the US. US Anglos don't care about south Americans. The only time Anglos go to south America is to go see the nature, temples and beaches, not the people.

Javier Navarro Fornés Nadie odia a los españoles. Toda la familia de mi madre es italiana, toda la familia de mi padre, gallega. Pero es cierto que culturalmente tenemos más influencia italiana que española en general, más allá de como sea cada familia. El acento, la comida, la arquitectura domestica de Buenos Aires, del siglo 19 y principios del 20 son italianas.

@@DiegoGarcia-fr3oj Argentina fue una colonia española durante siglos, que diantres estas hablando?

I am 29% Italian, 21% Portuguese, 19% British, 2% Irish, 2% German, 2% European Jew, 2% Polish, 3% Berber North African, 1% Middle Eastern, 5% Native American, 14% South Saharian Black African, or 81% caucasian, 5% indian and 14% black. I consider myself as non caucasiano, non indian, nor black, but as multiracial. After the DNA test, I was very surprised by the high amount of Italian blood in my veins, but I alread knew that I had some. Even more surprising to me was to find British, German, Polish and Irish into my ancestors. I also expected to have at least the double of Portuguese heritage. I already knew that I had Indian and Black Africans ancestors. North Africans falls in the mediterranean branch of the caucasians peoples. I expected that too, because of the medieval arab/berber invasions in the Iberian Península. The same for the middle eastern arabs. But for me, 29% Italian was a big surprise. I am Brasília, I speak Portuguese and my culture is also mostly Portuguese and Western. Born in Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL.
