Italy’s Gift to the World: The Neapolitan Song That Sings of Immigrants’ Joys and Sorrows

The Neapolitan song, and especially its sub-genre that emerged out of the waves of Italian immigration to America and the world, is a quintessential expression of Italian culture and a precious global asset to defend and preserve at all costs.

Just Back From the Southern Border: An Update on the Migrant Crisis

The US-Mexico border. The "migrant crisis." The arena of the fake-news-driven, isolationist rallying cry that took 2016 by storm, and that risks dominating the 2020 election as well. I went to an emergency assistance “welcome” center for refugees and migrants a few miles from the border to understand the truth as we head into 2020, to find out who and how many are crossing, and why.

Migration, Immigration and Intolerance According to Umberto Eco

The writer's reflections on the issue of immigration were presented twenty-two years ago during two conferences in Valencia and Paris where Eco distinguishes between Immigration, defined as the temporary and quantitively contained movement of an ethnic group toward another geographical area and that of Migration as a permanent and unstoppable mass exodus that changes the culture of the host country

What Do Italians Really Think about Diversity? A Q&A with Erika Baewert

As the Executive Assistant at Open Borders, Erika spends her time building bridges between an old and new Italy when it comes to issues around migration. A native of Turin, she’s no stranger to hard conversations and often opts into dialogue around race and identity with a fearlessness that can only come from growing up in a city known for its tough exterior. In a candid conversation, we sit down with Erika and discuss some pressing questions about the state of assimilation and the Italian perspective.

Italian Immigration and Emigration Between Acceptance and Prejudice

Before opening the floor to the speakers, Tamburri noted that, between 1880 and 1920, more than 20 million people left Italy. He then introduced a really important idea that will be brought up many times during the conversation: history helps us understand the phenomenon that is taking place in Italy right now. It first happened with Albanians, then with Eastern Europeans, and Africans. As Gian Antonio Stella writes, we have to remember “quando gli Albanesi eravamo noi” (“when we were the Albanians”). This is why it’s extremely important to talk about both of these phenomena together, emigration and immigration.
