It is one of the main centres of Montreal's Italian community, and is home to many fine Italian shops and restaurants, the Jean Talon market, as well as one of its treasures, the Church of the Madonna della Difesa, built by Italian immigrants in 1919 to commemorate the apparition of the Virgin Mary in La Difesa, Italy.
Italian Canadians, the largest ethnic group in the Montreal area can generally trace their roots to Little Italy, where many families settled at the end of the 19th century and after World War II.
Little Italy is just North East of the city, a 5 minute drive from downtown and well worth the trip. The neighbourhood has become a favourite destination of thousands of people each year who go for the food, the people and the atmosphere that only Little Italy can create.
