Demographics

While the population of Verona has historically been predominantly Italian, in years past, the make-up of the population has changed due to recent waves of immigration - immigrants and temporary guestworkers from around the world have made Verona their home. As of a 2005 census, 7.9% of the population (approximately 20,000 people) have been identified as non-Italian, with many immigrants originating from areas such as Eastern Europe, North Africa, and South Asia.
