I dunno part of what makes America special and me personally proud of America is the ability to embrace and morph people of all backgrounds and cultures.
America continues to be a melting pot and this to me on the whole is a very good thing.
I am an american but also proud of my Italian and Irish heritage. An american firt and always but proud we can embrace and change. While not perfect one of the funadamental aspects that makes the consititution such a great document.
In terms of attractive Italian girls its probably a numbers thing. I find beauty in people from all backgrounds
Yeah, this is how most people think as far as I know. What's my nationality? American. What country am I loyal to first and foremost? America. What are my ethnicities/is my heritage? Italian, Irish, German, and a little Scottish. I mean a little.
Attractiveness is subjective, but you'll be more likely to find more attractive Italian-Americans in the following states (those with the most Italian-Americans) in no particular order: New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, parts of PA, parts of MA, Connecticut, to name the most prominent few.
You can find attractive Italian American women throughout the Northeast. There are quite a few in my part of NY State. In the Syracuse area, the North Side of Syracuse, the Northern suburbs and Solvay, among others, would be places to look.
There are some in other regions usually in the major cities or select towns(i.e.- Iron Mountain MI, Independence LA, etc).
Why would you skip Boston and Providence but put Baltimore and Chicago?!
Boston has the reputation of being very Irish, moreso than Italian. Still has alot though. Providence likewise, and its not nearly as large as Baltimore or Chicago. NY and NJ have the most (statewise), with PA next.

Surprised Rochester and Pittsburgh have such high percents. Most likely since they are less diverse of areas.

I'm not surprised at all about either one of those areas and any Upstate NY metro is going to have a high percentage of Italian Americans. I believe that the Utica-Rome NY metro may have the highest percentage of Italian Americans(about 20% Italian). http://www.osia.org/documents/IA_Profile.pdf (check pages 14-19).
Also, Rochester actually is a diverse city that is 41% Black and about 15% Hispanic, with certain parts of the suburbs having some diversity as well.

New Orleans... only city in the south in top 25... b/c basically only decent size city with much of an immigrant history. You can more understand NCN's posts i suppose, even though they are completely ignorant.

Also, Rochester actually is a diverse city that is 41% Black and about 15% Hispanic, with certain parts of the suburbs having some diversity as well.
Pittsburgh (city) is becoming quite diverse as well (~60% white ~30% black, ~5% Asian ~2.5% Hispanic and other), but the overall metro is less diverse than average, as Rochester is as well.
Boston has the reputation of being very Irish, moreso than Italian. Still has alot though. Providence likewise, and its not nearly as large as Baltimore or Chicago. NY and NJ have the most (statewise), with PA next.
Which I was puzzled why you didn't included Boston. Providence would likely be the highest in percent if you continued the list. Your numbers are 1990 population, btw, I suspect there's been some change.

Its the best numbers I could find on short notice. And Providence would have been 8.193% Italian so not more than Rochester or Pittsburgh or Boston.

True, as only the Black percentage for the Rochester metro is at the national average.
There is also another website that has the municipalities with the highest percentages of ethnic groups that could be helpful.
