An Italian Colombian (Template:Lang-it, Template:Lang-es) is a person or resident born in Colombia of Italian descent.[2] The term "Italian" may refer to ethnic Italians who immigrated to Colombia from Italy. Most Italian Colombians live in Bogotá, Antioquia Department, Santander Department and other highland cities, where the climate is temperate and similar to that of Italy. Italians have been immigrating to Colombia since at least 15th century. During the invation of the Americas, thousands of Italians fled to Colombia.
