There were immigrants from all over Europe who came to the USA during this period. I think it's more than safe to say all of them were accepted. They embraced their new country and did their best to be good citizens, while still retaining their cultural heritage. That's something that doesn't happen so much now.

I think most of the post WW2 immigrants from Italy are molto veni... Is that right?
My family spends a lot of time vacationing in Italy and really enjoy it. My only problem with Italians is your teenagers are so LOUD when they come to places like Ludwigschloss am Chiemsee in Germany. They really yell a lot, but all teenagers can be a pain at some time or another, I know I was!

Actually, the Italians were not accepted when they first came to the US. They were discriminated against and reacted by forming an Italian American identity, something that you don't see in many other European immigrants of the same period. Most of the "Italians" in the United States are not immigrants but rather their descendants. They continue the tradition (as seen in the movies like Rockie and the Godfather). This group is now accepted within US society but this absorption came at a price. Some of the stereotypes of the Italians centered on the mafia, for example.
Don't put a thumbs down! Read your history.

As someone that actually went to school with someone that immigrated to the United States back in the 60's - no problem for me.
Vence was placed within my class - two years behind where he should have been because he couldn't speak English. He was given no 'special treatment' like classes taught in his original language and such.
He graduated from High School, married, became a district manager for a large auto parts company.
Because of such is why I wonder why so many feel that those that enter this country - legally or not - need to have everything geared to them vs. them actually becoming a part of the country and adapting to it as others did before them.

I love Italians. The women are beautiful, Their food is fantastic. Their language is sexy.
We have a neighborhood in my city called the Hill, it is where most of the families here settled. I am sure there were some problems for them at first, but in my lifetime it is a much loved area an people.
Baseball players visiting here always travel to the are know for the best Italian food in the country and several famous ballplayers were born on the hill.

I've heard that some were accepted better than others, depending on how many went to one place. (They had been on the other side in the war, after all.) However, I'm friends with some descendants of them, and they are accepted just fine.

I accept anyone that follows the rules and CONTRIBUTES to our society.
I will not accept anyone that sneaks across the borders, works for cash (doesn't pay taxes), doesn't take the time to learn our language, and uses our emergency rooms as their "free" medical program.
