Italy, Texas, is the self-proclaimed biggest little town in Texas. It’s south of Waxahachie and LITTLE for sure. With a population of only 2,000, it’s an everyone-knows-everyone-AND-their-business town. If you need a landmark to find Italy, it has one. The largest concrete caterpillar in the country.
