Italy itself was not a colony; rather, it was a unified nation-state formed in the 19th century. However, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Italy established colonies in Africa, including Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia, as part of its imperial ambitions. These colonies were part of Italy's attempts to expand its influence and compete with other European powers in the era of colonialism.
In 1890 Italy established Eritrea as its colony in the Horn of Africa.

As of 1880, three major Italian colonies were Eritrea, Somalia (specifically Italian Somaliland), and Libya. Italy established its first colony in Eritrea in the 1880s, followed by the acquisition of parts of Somalia in the same period. Libya was formally invaded by Italy in 1911, but the interests and claims began earlier. These colonies were part of Italy's broader ambitions during the Scramble for Africa.
