Sri Lankans have become one of the biggest ethnic groups in Italy. Italy is no longer a temporary place for South Asians to live but has become a permanent residence. The easing of immigration restrictions and the Italian economy has encouraged many South Asians to live in Italy.
Many Indians came to Italy in the early 1990s when the Italian government gave amnesty to illegal immigrants as they needed more workers.

Most Indians came from the Punjab and work in agriculture and on dairy farms. Some have become self-employed and have restaurants while others are in retail work to do with Italian tourism. About half of them live in agricultural regions particularly near Milan and Rome. The Indians have usually been found to be hard working and have contributed well to the economy.
South Asian food is popular in restaurants in Bologna in Italy. Some South Asians have cricket teams and play cricket matches in the Bologna region.

Most Indians in Italy are Hindus or Sikhs. There are many Hindu temples, and the Sikhs have Gurdwaras. The Sri Lankans there are either Hindu or Buddhist. There are more Muslims than Hindus, Sikhs or Buddhists among the South Asians in Italy.
