In 2010, 83.5% of the population was [[Italian people|Italian]]. From 1876 to 1976 it has been calculated that over 1,000,000 people from the province of Vicenza have emigrated, with more than 3,000,000 people of Vicentino descent living around the world (most common migrational currents included [[Brazil]], the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Belgium]] and [[Switzerland]]) escaping the devastation left by poverty, war and sickness. Today, almost 100,000 Vicenza citizens live and work abroad and the city has morphed from a land of emigration to a land of immigration. The largest immigrant group comes from the [[United States]] (about 9,000 people, partly due to the presence of the [[Caserma Ederle|military base]]). Other ethnic minorities comes from other European nations (the largest being [[Serbia]], [[Romania]], and [[Moldova]]), [[South Asian]] (the largest being [[Bangladesh]] and [[Pakistan]]), [[sub-saharan Africa]], and [[North Africa]] (largest is from [[Morocco]]). The city is predominantly [[Roman Catholic]], but due to immigration, it now has some [[Eastern Orthodox|Orthodox Christian]], [[Muslim]] and [[Sikh]] followers.
