It is estimated that Sri Lankan Tamils constitute at least a third of the Sri Lankan immigrants in Italy.[3] Tamils were reported to have migrated to Milan during the 1980s a decade before the Civil War commencing.[3]

The Tamil Diaspora is concentrated in various parts of the country predominantly in Palermo, Catania, Milan, Reggio Emilia, Naples, Bologna and Lecce where a number of cultural and linguistic organizations are based in.[3]
