Petite Italie: A New Website Brings More Focus To Little Italy Montreal

July 25, 2012 - PRLog -- The Business Development Corporation launches a new website that highlights the beauty of Little Italy Montreal, on top of their special event services.

Montreal is among the most popular and business-oriented cities in Canada. It is the largest in the province of Quebec and the second largest metropolis in Canada, second to Toronto, at 1,644.14 square miles. With a name taken from one of nature’s best works, Montreal is as impressive in stature as the triple-peaked Mount Royal it accommodates. French is its primary language, spoken by 60.5% of the population. But it does serve as home to a number of ethnicities, from Asian, Arabic, Latin American and African minorities to Spanish, Scottish, English, Irish and Italian families.

Italians actually rank second to French when it comes to community size in the area, with around 164,958 members. And because of this, they are considered to be a prominent entity within Montreal and a notable participant in all of its business and social events. They are mostly based on Saint Laurent Boulevard, between Jean-Talon and St. Zotique streets; largely known as Little Italy. And although this borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie serves as home to descendants of the original Italian-Canadian settlers, there are currently mixtures of races enjoying the amenities present in the area.

Little Italy Montreal is lined up with numerous Italian-built restaurants and shops that cater authentic Italian cuisines. It also has a collection of grocery stores, trinket shops and the Jean Talon Market to get all your shopping needs met. On top of that, Little Italy also houses the Church of Madona della Difesa and small communal areas where you could worship, meet new people and hang out with friends. Moreover, it also has a bustling nightlife that makes it popular even to the non-Italian youth.

The new website, appropriately named Petite Italie, brings focus to all of these wonderful characteristics and gives people insight into soirees and festivals Little Italy hosts and organizes. It also presents dozens of pictures, video diaries and descriptions of what people can expect when they visit. In addition, it also gives suggestions on where tourists should go and what they should do.
