Città Italiana, Montreal

Città Italiana, Montreal

Citta Italiana is the nickname given to the Montreal borough of St. Leonard, Quebec because of its large number of Italian-Canadians residents. "Città Italiana" is often considered Montreal's second Little Italy. This is quite evident on major streets such as the eastern portion of Jean-Talon Boulevard, locally referred to as "Via Italia", and Jarry Street where Italian-Canadian businesses are located. Many Italian cultural centres, such as the The Leonardo Da Vinci Centre, are located in Saint Leonard. Its services are offered in English, French and Italian. This cultural building contains theaters, gyms, bocce playing areas, and a cafe. There are 260,345 people of Italian ancestry living within the Greater Montreal Area.
