Family, opportunity, and tradition are reasons why most Italians left Italy to come to New York.
Specifically, family, friends, and relatives who already had made the trans-Atlantic crossing encouraged those whom they had left behind to join them in New York's Italian-speaking neighborhoods. The chance to accumulate money, become a property-owner, get an education, and provide for children and descendants functioned as another incentive for emigrating from the Italian homeland. The continuing of the practice of establishing Italian-speaking communities in the New World served as yet another inspiration for Italians to exchange "old" Italy for the "new" Italian Americas opened up by Christopher Columbus's (August 26-October 31, 1451? - May 20, 1506) giant, trans-Atlantic leap for humankind in 1492.
