Brazil and Argentina have the largest population of Italian descent outside of Italy iirc. While most of them are not reactionary and don’t give a shit about Italy besides being a place that they can get citizenship and vacation, some are weird about it because they think they are fully italians and that Italy gives a shit about them, same is valid for Japanese-Brazilian/Peruvians.

Brazil has the largest population of Italian descent outside of Italy, with an estimated 30 to 32 million citizens having full or partial Italian ancestry, representing about 15% of the total Brazilian population. The city of São Paulo is often cited as having the highest concentration of Italians in the world.
