As of January 2021, about 26 percent of all Italians who emigrated abroad over the previous year were originally from North-West Italy. People from the Southern regions made up 19 percent of the total, whereas 18.6 percent came from Central Italy.
Data about the single regions of Italy show that the largest number of Italian living abroad came from Sicily, Lombardy, and Campania.
