Romani people in Italy (Italian: Rom in Italia) have been living in Italy since the 15th century.[1] The Sinti, who regard themselves as a subgroup distinct from the Roma, arrived from the north. Other Romani groups migrated from the Balkans and settled in Southern Italy and Central Italy.[2] From Bosnia and Kosovo, Muslim Roma the so-called Xoraxane came to Italy at the time of the Balkan wars[3]
