Nueva Italia is a city in the Mexican state of Michoacán. It is located in the Tierra Caliente Michoacana. The town was founded in 1909 by Italian Dante Cusi to become the leading producer of cotton, rice, melon and maize in all of Mexico. It introduced waters of the Rio del Marquez to the arid region to make the soil fertile. In addition is the Rio Cupatitzio, through which channels and traps forms one of the largest irrigation complexes in Latin America. Lastly, the railroad allowed the opportunity for children from Italy to come. Subsequently, there was a ranch built, but is now in ruins.
