I think it has more to do witht the fact that Eritreans and hence Ethiopians have been living jn italy for so long. You even have legendary 70s Eritrean beauties in italy such as Zeudi Araya who were quite popular back in the days and who starred in many italian movies.

It probably has something to do with Eritrean and italian alliance aswell as i understand italians were seen favourably in Eritrea during the colonial days and most Eritreans have fond memories of Italians. They were the model minority to most Italians. Somalis on the other hand...
Where do all the Africans in Italy live? Rome?? Milan?? Naples??? Vatican city????
Unlike many other minorities, they just settled all over the country, adapting to every avalaible job. The most openly multicultural area in Italy is probably Turin's North Side (let's call it that) around Porta Palazzo Market and northwards, anyway the historic centers are the areas where you're generally least likely to meet them
I live in Italy and yes unfortunately this country is racist!!!
Maybe not as racist at the US but Italy is racist. I have experienced it as I am mixed raced.
^^Yeah unfortunately there's still racism here, the same goes for most countries, can you tell your experiences? I'm always interested to hear about that. Things are slowly improving though with the new generations which are much more accepting.

Are there areas where the ethnic minority reaches more than 40%?
I've made several trips to Rome and I've always seen Black people in Italy often walk by themselves, most of the time never speaking to the locals. Even on public transport they often sat away from the Italians/or the Italians sat away from them.
However, I did see Ethiopians/Eritreans talking to the locals and they were treated much better than the other Black's.
Is this a matter of history? Or is this something only I happened to see coincidentally?
Discuss..
Such a bizarre thread topic to make.
