Roma have been living in Italy since the 15th century.[1] The Sinti, who regard themselves as a subgroup distinct from the Roma, arrived from the north. Other Romani groups migrated from the Balkans and settled in Southern Italy and Central Italy.[2]
In 2015 in Italy there are at about 150,000 (70,000 Italian citizens) of Romani people origins. The three cities with most number of Romanis are: Rome, Milan and Naples.[3]
A 2015 poll conducted by Pew Research found that 86% of Italians have unfavourable views of Romani people.[4]
