Immigration After the abolition of slavery in 1888, Mococa began to receive a large number of immigrants to work on the coffee plantations. Among the immigrants, the majority were Italians, numbering between 9,000 and 10,000, coming mainly from the regions of
Lombardy,
Veneto,
Lazio,
Campania and
Sicily. But there were also
Germans, mainly from the
Bavaria region,
Austrians,
Portuguese;
Spanish from
Andalusia and
Galicia and, to a lesser extent, Lebanese, among others. The current population is the result of the miscegenation of these immigrants; it is estimated that the majority have at least one Italian ancestor. == Media ==
