A lot of Italian immigrants also settled just north of the city in Tangipahoa Parish, and Amite City and Independence have a lot of Italian ancestry, and there's a major Italian festival in Independence every year. A lot of Italians went into those rural areas to work the strawberry farms and other forms of agriculture, especially after the war when many black workers went north in the Great Migration and left a labor shortage which attracted Italian as well as Irish immigrants.
