Croats form a part of the permanent population of Italy (Croatian: Hrvati u Italiji, Italian: Croati in Italia). Traditionally, there is an autochthonous community in the Molise region known as the Molise Croats, but there are many other Croats living in or associated with Italy through other means, with the most numerous communities in Trieste, Rome, Padua and Milan. In 2010, persons with Croatian citizenship in Italy numbered 21,079.[1]
Croats of Italy could mean any of the following:
- Molise Croats - a long-established Croatian population in the Molise region.
- Ethnic Croats to have relocated to Italy from any region to which Croats may be autochthonous (e.g. Republic of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries).
