Italian Salvadorans (Italian: italo-salvadoregni; Spanish: ítalo-salvadoreños) are Salvadoran-born citizens who are fully or partially of Italian descent, whose ancestors were Italians who emigrated to El Salvador during the Italian diaspora, or Italian-born people in El Salvador.
Italian Salvadorans are one of the largest European communities in El Salvador, and one of the largest in Central America and the Caribbean, as well as one of those with the greatest social and cultural weight of America.[1]
Italians have strongly influenced Salvadoran society and participated in the construction of the country's identity. Italian culture is distinguished by infrastructure, gastronomy, education, dance, and other distinctions, there being several notable Salvadorans of Italian descent.[1][2][3][4]
