Scenarios about 'little italy'
Little Italy refers to urban neighborhoods historically populated by Italian immigrants and their descendants, primarily in North American cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco. These cultural enclaves emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during mass Italian immigration, preserving Italian language, cuisine, and traditions while serving as transitional spaces for integration into broader society. In alternate history scenarios, Little Italy districts often feature as settings for exploring different paths of ethnic assimilation, urban development, or as centers of resistance during scenarios involving fascism or altered immigration policies.
