A protectorate is a different state that is under your hegomony, influence and protection, and you have allot of control over the affairs, while the local have some self government.
A colony is your own property, like your house or farm.
The Italians saw Somalia and Eritrea like part of Italy, they planned to plant the excess Italian population over there, basically ship as many poor southern italian peasants into the colonies to build a new italy.
Fortunatley World War 2 got int the way of the plan, and only 30,000 Settlers made it to Somalia, and 50,000 settlers mad it to Eritrea, while the original plan was to ship in a million each .
