Italian Uruguayans (Italian: italo-uruguaiani; Spanish: ítalo-uruguayos) are Uruguayan-born citizens who are fully or partially of Italian descent, whose ancestors were Italians who emigrated to Uruguay during the Italian diaspora, or Italian-born people in Uruguay. Outside of Italy, Uruguay has one of the highest percentages of Italians in the world. It is estimated that about 44% of the total population of Uruguay are of Italian descent, corresponding to about 1,500,000 people,[2] while there were around 90,000 Italian citizens in Uruguay.[1]
