Pakistanis in Italy form one of Europe’s larger Pakistani diaspora communities. Estimates for the number of Pakistanis living in Italy vary. Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeats the Italian government’s 2003 figure of 30500 individuals while their embassy in Rome speculated to a reporter of Pakistani newspaper Dawn as early as 2002 that the number might have already reached as high as 50000. Media reports in 2010 gave numbers higher than 80000.
