The Italian Concession refers to a specific area in the city of Tianjin, China, that was leased to Italy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Established in 1901, this concession was part of a series of foreign-controlled zones in China, allowing Italy to exert influence and develop trade in the region. Within the Italian Concession, Italian architecture and culture flourished, with buildings reflecting styles from Italy. The area became a hub for Italian expatriates and businesses, contributing to the multicultural landscape of Tianjin during that period. The concession was returned to China in 1947 after World War II.
