Happy holidays to all Italians and Italian Americans in the North West and Pacific area!

In 2000 there were 1,163,038 American citizens of Italian origin in the North West and Pacific region. These are the most recent census data in which you can identify Italian ancestry. In the 48 counties of Northern California, there were around 700,000, a little bit less than 5% of the total population. Today this number has surely grown, given that interest of the people to reconnect with Italy and become Italian citizens has reached 15,000 altogether and is progressively growing (2008-2009 +2,7%, 2009-2010 + 6%, 2010-2011+ 7,5%).
