Uruguayans in Italy

No less than one-third of Uruguayans are of Italian descent; and thousands of Italian-Uruguayans hold Italian passports. These reasons help explain why so many Uruguayans immigrated to Italy in search of opportunities. An important group of Uruguayan footballers are playing or played in Italian teams. There are also some Italian-born people of Uruguayan descent.

Expatriate Uruguayans have their own associations in Italy, notably the Italy-Uruguay Cultural Association[http://www.italiauruguay.org/ ACIU] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102224350/http://www.italiauruguay.org/ |date=2013-11-02 }} {{in lang|es|it}}[http://www.d20.org.uy/Nueva-Asociacion-de-uruguayos-en ACIU established] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102130807/http://www.d20.org.uy/Nueva-Asociacion-de-uruguayos-en |date=2013-11-02 }} {{in lang|es}} and two Consultative Councils.{{cite web |url=http://www.d20.org.uy/Lista-de-Consejos |title=List of Consultative Councils of Uruguayans abroad |access-date=1 November 2013 |language=es |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130809011138/http://www.d20.org.uy/Lista-de-Consejos |archive-date=9 August 2013 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}
