Italian Chileans (in Spanish: Italochilenos Italian: Italo-cileni) are Chileans of full or partly Italian descent. It is estimated that 150000 people could have Italian ancestors. In Southern Chile there were state-conducted Italian immigrants programs though they were not as massive as the German and Croats immigrants programs. These families settled especially in Capitán Pastene Angol Lumaco and Temuco but also in Valparaiso Concepción Chillán Valdivia and Osorno.
