I don't know what route the Italians took, but since they did not speak much English, they wore tags that said "TO: NY." That's why so many Italians are name Tony.
That's a joke, son.
There be various routes, it all depended on where they resided and chose to travel from (schedules, fare, etc.) . My great-grandparents lived in northern Italy, and sailed from Bremen, Germany to New york (Ellis Island).

Naples was one of the commonly used ports toward the south.
u know i found a website which i just loved so much since i love history and all almost the experiences of immigrants from the past , and according to it the route they used to take be this :
Routes from Italy
Naples - Sicily - New York
Southern Italy, the source of most Italian immigrants had two major departure points Naples and Sicily. People traveled from as far as Sicily to depart on voyages from Naples. St. Angelo dei Lombardi and San Costantino Albanese are inland towns whose residents go overland to Naples to go to America
Traveling out of rural areas to the port towns was difficult since there be no cars and train service was only between major cities. Some race came into the port towns on smaller boats for the transfer to major steam lines for the oceanic voyage.
By boat, like everyone else from Europe then. Most get on a ship that went to the Southeast coast of England before it sailed to the States.
