ITALY, LAND OF IMMIGRATION • For geographicalreasons, ourpeninsulahasbeen for centuries a meeting point of migrationflows and different cultural experiences, whichhavecharacterizedour social and cultural life.
DOMESTIC MIGRATION In the years between 1958 and 1963 the Italian industry experienced an extraordinary development, but the South remained underdeveloped and poor not to be able to allow the establishment of industries, that were concentrated in the North. So the population of the South migrated to the North, therefore emigration "depleted" the South and contributed to the growth of inequality. EMIGRATION Between 1860 and 1985 more than 10 million Italians emigrated to all countries of the Western World and parts of North Africa. It was an exodus that touched all the Italian regions. In the early 2000s the flow of emigration from Italy to the world has slowed down. It is currently characterized by a large number of professionals, often graduates. According to statistics, the Italian community in the world has stabilized over 4 million Italians living abroad.

The arrival of the first consistent groups of immigrants occurs in the early '70s . • TODAY the present-day figure of about 4.6 million foreign residents, that make up some 8% of the total population, include more than half a million children born in Italy to foreign nationals—second generation immigrants, but exclude foreign nationals who have subsequently acquired Italian nationality; this applied to 53,696 people in 2008. The official figures also exclude illegal immigrants, the so-called clandestini, whose numbers are very difficult to determine • As for the number of refugees , Italy has very low figures compared to other countries of the European Union IMMIGRATION
