Italian Ecuadorians (Italian: italo-ecuadoriani; Spanish: ítalo-ecuatorianos) are Ecuadorian-born citizens who are fully or partially of Italian descent, whose ancestors were Italians who emigrated to Ecuador during the Italian diaspora, or Italian-born people in Ecuador.
Italian immigration to Ecuador has developed above all in the last two centuries. Ecuador is a country in which there are Italian communities, which – like other countries in Latin America – have spread throughout the national territory. The Italians who immigrated to Ecuador are predominantly Ligurian.[4]
