Bangladeshis are one of the largest immigrant populations in Italy. As of 2017, an "educated guess made by ... government officials" of Bangladesh was that there were 400,000 Bangladeshis living in Italy.[1] In 2019, the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policies put the number of Bangladeshis regularly residing in Italy at 145,707.[2]
