Italy / Italia is a country in Southern Europe.
Overview
Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Italy
Judaism is attested in Rome and Italy since the time of Julius Caesar (1st century BCE). Christianity also spread very quickly in the years following the death of Jesus.
Today, the majority of Italian population is Roman Catholic, with significant Protestant and Christian Orthodox minorities. Jews have remained a constant presence in Italy, now concentrated mostly in Rome and Milan. In recent years a massive immigration of workers from nearby Africa has made Islam (which was virtually non-existent) the second largest religion in Italy; and the first mosques were built in Rome and Milan.
