L’emigrazione, mai interrotta, è da sempre una peculiarità dell’Italia. Negli ultimi anni, i protagonisti dei flussi in uscita sono però diversi sia culturalmente sia linguisticamente da quelli dei secoli scorsi. Nonostante questo cambiamento, continua ancora l’assistenza spirituale e sociale che la Chiesa cattolica italiana dà ai connazionali all’estero. Dal momento che la sua missione si realizza attraverso la lingua e il suo credo si fonda sulla Parola, la Chiesa si interessa molto alla questione linguistica. In questo contributo verranno presentati i risultati di un’indagine condotta mediante interviste e osservazioni partecipanti in due città della Germania – paese che, almeno da tre anni, è al secondo posto sia per nuovi arrivi di italiani sia per comunità italiana residente – con lo scopo di individuare la consapevolezza della Chiesa italiana in Germania circa i cambiamenti sociali, linguistici e culturali apportati dalla neoemigrazione.
Italian neo-emigration in a religious context: a study in Germany
Continuous emigration has always been a distinctive feature of Italy. In recent years, however, Italian emigrants have distinguished themselves both culturally and linguistically from the previous migratory flows of Italians. Despite this change, the spiritual and social assistance that the Italian Catholic Church gives to its fellow countrymen abroad is still ongoing. Furthermore, the Italian Catholic Church is particularly interested in the linguistic dimensions, given the fact that its mission is carried out through language and its creed is based on words. This paper aims to identify the awareness of the Italian Church in Germany about the social, linguistic and cultural changes brought about by the new emigration flows from Italy, presenting the results of a survey conducted through interviews and participant observations in two cities in Germany, a country which, for at least three years, has been in second place both in terms of the number of new arrival of Italians and the ones already emigrated.

Nos anos da Grande Imigração (1875-1914), muitos italianos abriram, nas principais cidades brasileiras que os acolheram, atividades comerciais no setor da alimentação. Como escreveu o jornalista Francesco Bianco depois de uma passagem no país sul-americano em 1922, “os italianos conseguiram impor a sua culinária, assumindo o domínio do paladar destes povos”. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os aspectos distintivos do comércio étnico de gêneros alimentícios importados, que favoreceram um fenômeno de mercado induzido e permitiram a muitos italianos abrir suas próprias casas de despachos nos principais centros urbanos do país. Em particular, é enfatizado o caso de São Paulo, onde a grande quantidade de peninsulares presentes propiciou o surgimento de inúmeros empreendimentos de caráter étnico. Através de uma análise qualitativa de documentos variados como correspondências familiares, imprensa étnica e, principalmente, almanaques raros relativos aos numerosos grupos de italianos instalados no Brasil, se reflete sobre o tema da alimentação como um dos principais elementos na definição de identidades étnicas e, consequentemente, como nova possibilidade para empreendimentos comerciais nas cidades de imigração. Palavras-chave: Imigração italiana. Comércio étnico. Enogastronomia. Identidade étnicaABSTRACTIn the years of the Great Immigration (1875-1914), many Italians opened, in the most important cities of Brazil, commercial activities in the food segment. As the journalist Francesco Bianco wrote during his trip to the South-American country, “the Italians manage to impose their culinary, taking over the domain of people’s taste”. The objective of the present article is to analyze the distinctive features of the ethnic business of exchanged food products, which favored a phenomenon named “induced business” and allowed many Italians to open their own dispatch houses in the main urban centers in the country. In particular, it is emphasized the case of São Paulo, where the large amount of immigrants provide the advent of numerous ethnic enterprises. Through a qualitative analysis of varied documents such as family correspondence, ethnic press and, especially, rare almanacs related to the numerous groups of Italians living in Brazil, this article shows the theme of food as one of the main elements in the definition of ethnic identities and, consequently, as a new possibility for commercial enterprises in the cities of immigration.Keywords: Italian immigration.

Lo studio della costruzione discorsiva dell’identità è un campo fecondo ‒ e ancora poco esplorato ‒ per comprendere la migrazione. L’integrazione del migrante e dei suoi discendenti nella comunità di destinazione è collegata a rappresentazioni di sé, dell'altro e del mondo, che possono essere comprese meglio attraverso uno studio linguistico-discorsivo. Partendo dall’approccio metodologico della Storia Orale, il gruppo di ricerca “Língua, Identidade e Memória: os italianos no Brasil” realizza interviste con (discendenti di) migranti italiani, incentrate sull’esperienza migratoria diretta o trasmessa dai familiari per investigare in particolare la costruzione dell’italianità degli italo-brasiliani. In questo articolo, analizziamo le occorrenze di “eterogeneità discorsiva mostrata” in cinque interviste con discendenti di italiani arrivati a San Paolo durante la cosiddetta “Grande Emigrazione”. Le domande guida sono: (1) quali caratteristiche vengono associate all’italianità e come vengono presentate nelle occorrenze di eterogeneità mostrata?; (2) cosa possiamo inferire sull’io e sull’italianità dall’incorporazione del discorso altrui in quello degli intervistati? Le ricorrenze evidenziano un’italianità in genere associata a aspetti valutati positivamente, come l’etica del lavoro e la spiccata “allegria”, oltre a una tensione tra enunciatori e italianità.
“HE SAID HE WAS ITALIAN”: THE SELF AND THE OTHER IN INTERVIEWS OF DESCENDANTS OF ITALIANS FROM SÃO PAULO
The study of the discursive construction of identity is a fruitful – and a yet under-explored – field for understanding migration. The integration of the migrant and their descendants into the destination community is linked to representations of self, other, and world, which can be better understood through a linguistic-discursive study. Starting from the methodological approach of Oral History, the research group “Língua, Identidade e Memória: os italianos no Brasil” conducts interviews with (descendants of) Italian migrants, focusing on the direct migration experience or transmitted by family members to investigate in particular the construction of Italian-ness of Italian-Brazilians. In this paper, we analyze the occurrences of shown discursive heterogeneity in five interviews with descendants of Italians who arrived in São Paulo during the so-called “Great Emigration”. The guiding questions are (1) what characteristics are associated with Italian-ness and how are they presented in the occurrences of shown heterogeneity?; (2) what can we infer about the self and Italian-ness from the incorporation of others’ discourse into that of the interviewees? The occurrences show Italian-ness generally associated with positively valued aspects, such as work ethic and marked “cheerfulness”, as well as a tension between the subjects and Italian-ness.

One would be hard-pressed to deny the influence Italians have had on the United States of America and on the very fabric of American cultural life. Not only are metropolises like New York City and Chicago with their populations in the millions home to significant Italian communities and neighborhoods but so are cities with several hundred thousand inhabitants like Boston, Baltimore, Syracuse, St. Louis, or Cleveland. The present paper intends to focus on Italians in Cleveland, Ohio, that undoubtedly constitute an organic and significant part of the city’s population. It aims to offer an insight into the formation of the Italian neighborhoods, from the first waves of Italian immigrants in the 19th century, and the opportunities of second-, third-, or nth-generation Italians to tend to their common Italian roots as well as to preserve their customs and traditions from the old country through a wide array of Italian cultural events, the city’s Italian community hubs and memorial sites, or the local Italian-American media

Abstract Argentina and the United States were the principal destinations for Italian immigrants during the Age of Mass Migration. I assemble data following Italians from passenger lists to censuses in Argentina and the United States, enabling me to compare the economic outcomes of migrants with similar pre-migration characteristics but who moved to different countries. Italians assimilated faster in Argentina, and this advantage was unlikely to be due to selection. A higher human capital relative to natives and the Italian-Spanish similarity largely explain Italians’ advantage in Argentina. These findings highlight the importance of the fit between migrants’ characteristics and those of the receiving country.

ObjectivesThree hundred and thirty thousand Italians arrived in Australia between 1945 and 1966, many on assisted passage schemes where the worker agreed to a 2-year unskilled employment contract. Italians were the largest of 52 migrant groups employed at the Wittenoom blue asbestos mining and milling operation. We compare mortality from asbestos-related diseases among Italian and Australian workers employed at Wittenoom.MethodsA cohort of 6500 male workers was established from employment records and followed up at state and national mortality and cancer registries. SMRs were calculated to compare mortality with the Western Australian male population. Time-varying Cox proportional hazards models compared the risk of mesothelioma between Australian and Italian workers.Results1031 Italians and 3465 Australians worked at Wittenoom between 1943 and 1966. Duration of employment was longer for the Italian workers, although the concentration of exposure was similar. The mesothelioma mortality rate per 100 000 was higher in Italians (184, 95% CI 148 to 229) than Australians (128, 95% CI 111 to 149). The risk of mesothelioma was greater than twofold (HR 2.27, 95% CI 1.43 to 3.60) in Italians at the lowest asbestos exposure category (<10 fibre years/per mL).ConclusionsA hierarchy in migration, isolation and a shortage of workers led to Italians at Wittenoom incurring higher cumulative exposure to blue asbestos and subsequently a greater rate of malignant mesothelioma than Australian workers.ImpactPoor working conditions and disparities between native and foreign-born workers has had a detrimental and differential impact on the long-term health of the workforce.

Full textAbstract:
With Italy’s entry into the Second World War, Anglo-Egyptian authorities repatriated Italian diplomats from Egypt, arrested around 5,000 Italians, and sequestered both personal and business accounts. Italian institutions were indefinitely closed, including the Italian state schools. Hope for a future in Egypt among the roughly 60,000 Italian residents faded. The Salesian missionary schools, whose goal since the late nineteenth century had been to inculcate nationalist-religious sentiment in Italy’s emigrants, remained the only active Italian educational institution by claiming Vatican protection. As such, the missionary schools assumed a central role in the lives of many young Italians. After the war, these same young Italians began to depart Egypt en masse, in part driven by the possibilities opened up by their vocational training. Building on diplomatic, institutional and private archives, this article demonstrates how the Salesian missionary schools attempted and failed to integrate Italian immigrants into the Egyptian labour force through vocational training. This failure combined with socio-economic and geopolitical changes to propel Italian departures from Egypt, making emigrants out of immigrants.

Fascism saw education as a key way to ‘make Italians’ both at home and in its colonies. Schools for Italians and for the indigenous population in Africa were a key part of this project. These educational institutions were set up, partly, to convince young Italians of their role as colonisers and bearers of an idea of ‘Italian civilisation’. A small minority of Africans, who were permitted to attend schools created for a section of the local population, were given an education that was designed to reinforce their role as inferior and as targets for an idea of a superior ‘Italian civilisation’. This article will analyse the role of the schools set up in the colonies both for Italians and for the local population, as well as their use of politics, propaganda and their educational techniques. The article looks at continuities and breaks with the pre-Fascist period, as well as the radicalisation of racist educational policies after the proclamation of the empire.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article offers a transnational examination of the Italian diaspora community from Palestrina, Lazio, in Southbridge, Massachusetts between 1900 and 1945 that addresses the impact of education on the economic empowerment of Italian immigrants. Due to the labor shortage in the area, the assimilation of Italians was more effective and second-generation Italians remained in the public school system longer. This combination of factors created more economic mobility for both foreign-born and second-generation Southbridge Italians. Factors that contributed to this unique circumstance included the intense competition for labor between two factories, American Optical Company (AO) and Hamilton Woolen Mill. Both firms were among the first in Massachusetts to invest in workplace English education and citizenship programs. This educational investment had the goal of retaining and advancing entry-level workers into skilled level positions. Furthermore, AO encouraged the town to establish a high school in 1917 and made substantial contributions to the establishment of a trade school in 1927. The Italian community in Southbridge developed their own institutions to promote cohesiveness and assimilation via their own social, community, and citizenship groups. There was also an increase in entrepreneurship within the Southbridge Italian community. Assimilation and upward economic mobility for Italians in Southbridge began in the workplace.

La cultura è agricoltura: nel senso preciso che la tradizione culturale è nello stesso tempo traduzione, sedimentazione, attesa che il seme si maceri nel terreno e dia, a tempo debito, il suo frutto. Gli italiani sono ancora un popolo di contadini; la società industriale italiana può apparire anche più solida di altre perché poggia su un passato che non passa, sui semi positivi e non ancora storicamente inverati della grande cultura mediterranea.
Culture is agriculture: in the precise sense that cultural tradition is simultaneously also translation, sedimentation, waiting for the seed to macerate in the soil and, in due time, to bear fruit. Italians are still a peasant people; Italian industrial society may even appear as being more solid than others, but this is because it rests on a past that does not pass away, on the positive and yet historically unfulfilled seeds of the great Mediterranean culture.

Italians have long been the exception to generalizations about ethnic American Catholicism. As early as the 1880s, American bishops considered them a “problem.” In 1946, Henry J. Browne summarized the “problem”: Italians did not regularly attend mass, did not receive the sacraments, did not contribute to the support of the church, did not educate their children in their faith, did not respect the clergy, and did not appreciate that they should be doing better in all these areas. Although Browne's work has become the subject of revisionist criticism among students of Italian American Catholicism, specialists in other aspects of American Catholicism have incorporated into their work generalizations generated by the Italian-American experts.James Sanders's study of Chicago parochial schools referred to Italians as least likely to support such schools. David J. O'Brien's history of the diocese of Syracuse emphasizes the difficulties Italians faced and the troubles they created for the clergy and hierarchy. Dolan's survey of American Catholic history has a large bibliography on which to base its conclusion that “thereligion of the [southern Italian] people was not the same as the official religion of the church.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a rapid development of Italian communities in Greece, with their members being regarded as integral parts of local societies, especially in the Ionian Islands and the Peloponnese. This changed after the fascist Italian attack against Greece in October 1940 and the subsequent Italian occupation. Members of the Italian community were deemed as de facto enemies, with the Greek authorities deciding to immediately expel them after Greece's liberation. The removal policy, however, would also be extended to the Italians of the Dodecanese after the islands were ceded in 1947. This article will document the Italians' expulsion from Greece after the end of the Second World War by examining the different ways in which mainly the Greek state, but also the authorities in Italy and the Great Allies, handled the Italian community's fate in the unfolding Cold War. At the same time, it will also explore the policy followed and the incentives that led Athens to accept the resettlement of a number of expelled Italians in Greece in 1949.

L’articolo tratta delle comunità di italiani che si sono formate in diversi paesi dell’Europa centro orientale a partire dal medioevo e dall’età moderna, prestando particolare attenzione a quelle che si sono consolidate nel periodo tra la fine del XIX secolo e la prima metà del XX secolo. Nate spesso in alternativa alle mete tradizionali d’oltreoceano e dell’Europa settentrionale, nel corso del tempo queste comunità hanno conosciuto storie diverse, alcune hanno scelto di tornare in Italia, altre invece sono rimaste, assimilandosi o preservando la propria identità socio-culturale e diventando minoranze etniche. Il periodo del socialismo reale ha rappresentato per molti italiani un periodo di isolamento e di perdita della propria identità. Con la caduta del muro di Berlino, le vicende di queste comunità di “italiani dimenticati” si sono intrecciate ai flussi migratori dei cosiddetti global migrant dei nostri giorni. L’articolo approfondisce quindi caso-studio dell’emigrazione degli italiani in Romania nell’Ottocento, che ha avuto un forte impatto sull’economia e sulla cultura dei due paesi. All’epoca i lavoratori italiani erano richiesti per le loro abilità in vari settori e questo ha creato legami culturali e sociali tra i due paesi la cui eco si riverbera sull’attuale immigrazione romena in Italia.
The socio-cultural identity of Italian communities in Central and Eastern Europe. An introduction
The article deals with the Italian communities that were formed in various countries of Central and Eastern Europe starting from the Middle Ages and the modern age, paying particular attention to those that consolidated between the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Often born as an alternative to the traditional overseas and northern European destinations, over time these communities have known different destinies, with some choosing to return to Italy, while others have remained, assimilating or preserving their own socio-cultural identity and becoming ethnic minorities. The period of real socialism represented for many Italians a time of isolation and loss of their own identity. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the events of these communities of “forgotten Italians” intertwined with the migratory flows of the so-called “global migrants” of our day. The article then explores the case study of the emigration of Italians to Romania in the 19th century, which had a strong impact on the economy and culture of the two countries. At the time, Italian workers were in demand for their skills in various sectors, creating cultural and social ties between the two countries whose echoes are reflected in the current Romanian immigration to Italy.

Being Italian is not as simple or as straightforward as one might assume. For an Italian from the territories that Italy ceded to Yugoslavia in the wake of the Second World War, identifying as Italian, or to be seen as an Italian, was problematic, if not even dangerous. During and after the Second World War, most Italians from these territories abandoned their hometowns and became refugees in Italy. Some then emigrated overseas, where, for the most part, they continued to self-identify as Italians. This article looks at the Italian-Canadian author, radio personality, and activist Gianni Angelo Grohovaz, originally from Fiume (Italy), to determine what being Italian meant for him and how it conditioned his life and work.

This study considers whether or not Italian Muslims are deemed a threat by Italian society. It attempts to verify the major lines of conflict in the relationship between Islam and Italian society, which is by tradition culturally connected to Catholicism. The study investigates different patterns of relationship between Catholic Italians and Muslim Italians in different Italian regions based on the national survey “La nuova religiosità in Italia” [New religiosity in Italy] (2007). By means of research data the authors detect regions with a high potential for conflict and regions where there is greater acceptance of Islam as well as better bases for societal cohesion and cooperation.

This paper describes the matrimonial and reproductive behaviour of Italians who migrated to Belgium after the Second World War. Migrants were either already married, or later became married, to other Italians. Among the children of migrants, men equally chose Italian or Belgian wives but women tended to prefer Italian partners. Italian-Belgian marriages were more frequent among the better educated groups. Family size is smaller among migrants marrying after migration and in heterogamous marriages. Significant differences in birth intervals are found when marriage occurred before or after migration, between generations, and between homogamous and heterogamous marriages.

Montreal playwright Steve Galluccio states, “Italian immigrants, they weren’t gay.” The traditional values of Italians in Canada have often led to the marginalization of members of the LGBTQ+ community. For some, being queer and being of Italian origin is irreconcilable. Traditionally, the queer experience is not acknowledged in Italian immigrant homes. Today, there is still some reticence in the Italian-Canadian community, in both private and public spaces. Galluccio writes about his Italian origins and about being openly gay. Through his writing, he brings together two communities (LGBTQ+ and Italian Canadians) that often seem disconnected. This paper discusses Galluccio’s contribution to Italian-Canadian literature. It introduces his works, from the very popular Mambo Italiano to the most recent At the Beginning of Time, and looks at the connection between his literary contribution, Italian heritage, and queer identity.

In an investigation of the internal functioning of the German-Italian coalition, an important question is to what degree the Axis Powers were divided by race ideology when it was directed not at a third party, but at the Italians and Germans themselves: How did the Germans communicate to their coalition partner that a ‘mixing of the races’ was not acceptable to them? How did the Italians react? What diplomatic complications arose and how were they resolved? These questions remained hypothetical until 1941, since women and men from the two regimes had little opportunity to meet. The question, however, gains relevance after the Economic Agreement of 26 February 1941 was signed. The agreement stipulated that in exchange for the delivery of raw materials, the Italians would provide 204,000 workers to be deployed in the German armaments industry. The Italian workforce in the German Reich grew rapidly within just a few months, turning what had been a mere hypothetical concern into a real issue: What role did the National Socialist race ideology play when Germans and Italians met and took a liking to one another?

“New” Italians between Italy and China: language and identity of a new italianity
Italy, with its strategic position from a geopolitical and economic point of view, has been a destination for immigrants for more than thirty years, while also continuing to be a country of emigration. Although 21st-century China does not rank among the first countries as a destination for Italian emigration, the presence of the Italian community in China has seen a continuous increase in the last decade. This contribution aims at outlining a sociolinguistic profile of Italian emigrants in China, in which we want to highlight not only the vitality and dynamism of the varieties of the Italian language but also the contact between the Italian community and the linguistic varieties of the host country. The contribution will end with a case study based on a qualitative interview with a parent-child pair representing the first and second generation of Italian emigrants in China. The interview aims at investigating the importance that the varieties of Italian have in intra-family transmission and daily life, and how a language can shape personal identity.

Aim.To determine whether disparities exist in mental health care provision to immigrants and Italian citizens with severe mental illness in Bologna, Italy.Methods.Records of prevalent cases on 31/12/2010 with severe mental illness and ≥1 contact with Community Mental Health Centers in 2011 were extracted from the mental health information system. Logistic and Poisson regressions were carried out to estimate the probability of receiving rehabilitation, residential or inpatient care, the intensity of outpatient treatments and the duration of hospitalisations and residential care for immigrant patients compared to Italians, adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates.Results.The study population included 8602 Italian and 388 immigrant patients. Immigrants were significantly younger, more likely to be married and living with people other than their original family and had a shorter duration of contact with mental health services. The percentages of patients receiving psychosocial rehabilitation, admitted to hospital wards or to residential facilities were similar between Italians and immigrants. The number of interventions was higher for Italians. Admissions to acute wards or residential facilities were significantly longer for Italians. Moreover, immigrants received significantly more group rehabilitation interventions, while more social support individual interventions were provided to Italians.Conclusions.The probability of receiving any mental health intervention is similar between immigrants and Italians, but the number of interventions and the duration of admissions are lower for immigrants.

Full textAbstract:
In 2003, a presidential decree enacted legislation guaranteeing Italian voters overseas the right to postal voting as well as parliamentary representation within their respective electoral constituency. The electoral weight of the overseas-based constituent had a remarkable effect on the 2006 election results. In the tightest vote in the Republic's history, the vote of overseas Italians, which was one of the decisive features of the election, helped provide the winning centre-left coalition with a slender majority in the Senate. Election results notwithstanding, the question of whether to grant the vote to Italians overseas has faced challenges of a procedural, normative and political nature. What may have been initially seen as a democratic right may well be cast aside as it poses challenges to overseas electoral relationships with the Italian national polity, Italian citizenship and multinational allegiances, diasporic identity, electoral participation and political representation in homeland political institutions. The overseas vote for Italians may be contested further in the near future, which could translate into a radical rethink of its validity and democratic global extension.

The article examines the role of food in shaping the Italian national identity based on the example of Italian football language in the most-read Italian newspaper entitled “La Gazzetta dello Sport” (www.gazzetta. it). At first, the concept of identity is analyzed and then its particular shades in the case of Italy and the attitude of Italians toward food, its importance and widespread occurrence within the entire country will be discussed. In fact, the food is a factor which seems to be a bonding element for all Italians and a means of expressing the current Italian national identity. The author identifies it as the Italian culinary identity. The phenomenon can be observed in such presently existing Italian culinary terms as cioccolatino, brodino, biscotto, spezzatino, mangiarsi un gol and the like that are used in Italian football news.

SummaryWhat role has culture played in shaping Italians’ experiences of Italian colonialism before and after the Second World War? How can the tools of cultural analysis be employed to understand the place and space Italian colonialism has had within Italian and European history? This article draws on and discusses the growing body of scholarly work about colonial narratives and representations (exhibitions, travel writings, etc.) but is centred on the Italian colonial cinema. It focuses, in particular, on the issue of the double-edged power of the visual in colonial films with respect to both Italian and African audiences. The article explores spectatorship under colonial conditions but also how the visual elements of colonial films contributed to or complicated the production of ‘colonial experiences’ among the many Italians who never set foot in Africa.

Capturing an important day in the life of a community, a photograph from the author’s family collection records a group that has gathered to welcome the Italian aviator Francesco De Pinedo to Innisfail in 1925. De Pinedo’s record-breaking 55,000-kilometre flight from Rome to Tokyo via Australia and back was an extraordinary feat, and a demonstration of Italian technological advancement and participation in the drive towards global connectivity of those times. He had been feted by the public and dignitaries, including the Prime Minister, at each stage of his journey around Australia. But the photograph reveals much more. De Pinedo’s visit was particularly welcome where Italians were denigrated and viewed with suspicion. At the time, there was unrest about the impact of ‘foreign’ – specifically Italian – immigration in North Queensland, to provide labour for its sugar industry. The men in the photograph were among the leaders of the North Queensland Italian communities, and three of them had been invited as witnesses before the Ferry Royal Commission just months earlier. The Commission was set up to investigate attitudes towards the increasing numbers of Italians, and those views were to result in widespread internment of North Queensland Italians during World War II. All but two of the Italian leaders photographed were interned. This article situates the personal histories and contributions of these individuals within their historical circumstances.

AbstractThis article makes a case for rupturing the national framework used in traditional narratives of the Federal Republic, and it does so by revisiting the Italo-German relationship in particular. The state of Europe—and of Germans’ place in it—are in flux in the wake of the recent Eurozone crisis and “Brexit.” A study of German-Italian entanglements cannot offer definite answers about whether Germans or Italians feel “European,” but it does demonstrate, on the one hand, that perceptions of national difference do not preclude collaboration and closer relations, and, on the other, that the construction and deployment of difference can actually help create and maintain bonds between populations. Making a case for the importance of a history of German-Italian entanglements, the article offers evidence for how perceived national differences have brought Germans and Italians together, from the beginning of the Federal Republic to roughly the present, with a focus on Germans’ (and Italians’) recent turn to an apolitical or even anti-political lifestyle politics, and on the uncertain consequences that this has for the European project as a whole.

Over the past decade, Malta has seen a steady increase in the amount of Italian nationals who work, study and reside on the island. This is a significant recent development in the contacts between Malta and Italy and represents another important milestone in the relationships between the two countries, rooted in language, history and culture. Today, Italians are practically present in every sector of Maltese society and their move to the island is mainly determined by employment opportunities in an Anglophone context which is geographically close to their homeland. Research on this migration has been carried out over the past years in order to investigate language issues, schooling and socialisation. In this paper I provide an overview of the main results obtained in these studies, while also reflecting on how they are relevant for future research on Italians in Malta.
Una rassegna della ricerca sulla recente migrazione degli italiani a Malta
Durante l’ultimo decennio, a Malta si è registrato un aumento considerevole di Italiani che lavorano, studiano e risiedono sull’isola. Si tratta di uno sviluppo significativo dei contatti tra Malta e l’Italia e rappresenta un’altra tappa fondamentale nelle relazioni tra i due Paesi, le quali hanno radici linguistiche, storiche e culturali. Oggi gli Italiani sono presenti in praticamente tutti i settori della società maltese e, nella maggior parte dei casi, il loro trasferimento è determinato da opportunità lavorative in un contesto anglofono vicino al loro Paese. Argomenti linguistici, la scuola e la socializzazione sono tra i temi che sono stati investigati nelle ricerche svolte recentemente in merito a questa migrazione. In questo lavoro si propone una rassegna dei risultati principali e si riflette sulla rilevanza di queste conclusioni per studi futuri sugli Italiani a Malta.

Questo articolo si concentra sugli effetti della onward migration sui repertori linguistici delle famiglie di nuovi italiani che sono emigrate in Inghilterra dopo un lungo periodo di vita in Italia. Prendendo in esame interviste sociolinguistiche condotte con i figli maggiori di queste famiglie, lo studio dimostra che l'italiano viene mantenuto nel dominio familiare, soprattutto tra coloro che hanno trascorso più tempo in Italia. I fratelli maggiori aiutano i loro fratelli minori a mantenere la loro competenza nell’italiano e possono utilizzare una combinazione di lingue della famiglia quando comunicano con i genitori quando questi non parlano fluentemente l’inglese. Inoltre, l’italiano continua ad essere nelle conversazioni con gli amici sia in Inghilterra che in Italia e vengono anche sostenuti esame di italiano a scuola. Mentre i dialetti italo-romanzo sono assenti dai repertori linguistici di queste famiglie, altre lingue d’eredità continuano ad essere parlate dai genitori tra loro e con i propri figli; tuttavia, il livello di mantenimento varia a seconda dell’origine etnica di ciascuna famiglia. Per alcuni partecipanti, il trasferimento in Inghilterra li ha anche portati a riscoprire le proprie radici linguistiche.
THE ONWARD MIGRATION OF NEW ITALIANS TO ENGLAND: RESTRUCTURING OF COMPLEX LINGUISTIC REPERTOIRES AND LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE
This article focuses on the effects of onward migration in the linguistic repertoires of families of new Italians who have migrated to England after a long period of life in Italy. Drawing on sociolinguistic interviews undertaken with the elder children of these families, the study finds that Italian is maintained in the family domain, particularly among those who spent more time in Italy. The elder siblings assist their younger siblings in maintaining their Italian proficiency and may use a combination of family languages when communicating with parents when these are not fluent in English. Furthermore, Italian is still being used with friends both in England and back home in Italy, as well as being taken as exam at school. While Italo-Romance dialects are absent from these families' linguistic repertoires, other heritage languages continue to be spoken by parents amongst themselves and with their children; however, maintenance levels vary depending on each family's ethnic background. For some participants, moving to England has also led them to rediscover their linguistic roots.

Full textAbstract:
The article is about the observation of the interfering influence of the Italian language on the formation of plural forms in the Russian speech of Italians, which can lead to the erroneous formation of plural forms from the Russian words singularia tantum. The purpose of this study is to establish the main linguistic causes existing in the Russian and Italian languages, which are the basis for the occurrence or absence of such type of interference and related errors; which, in turn, allows us to understand the nature of errors in the speech of non-native speakers. The research was conducted on the material of authentic translated texts written by Italians for educational and other purposes. The relevance of the topic is due, on the one hand, to the frequency of the formation of plural forms from the words singularia tantum in the Russian speech of Italians; on the other hand, the need for a clear understanding of the linguistic nature of such errors. It is important to emphasize the unsystematic nature of the formation of number forms in nouns in Russian and Italian, as well as the unsystematic nature of grammatical litters describing the category of numbers in bilingual and explanatory dictionaries, which creates a significant methodological difficulty.

Very little is known about Domenico De Vivo (1839-1897). He was a disciple of the Italian linguist Giacomo Lignana and worked as a professor of Russian and English language at the Asiatic College in Naples from 1868 to 1870, and then as an Italian language lecturer at the universities of Dorpat and Odessa in the Russian Empire from 1879 until his death in 1897. De Vivo championed his ideas on language teaching and learning in his books Grammatica della lingua russa [Russian Grammar for Italians] (Dorpat, 1882) and Prakticheskoe rukovodstvo dlya izucheniya ital’yanskogo yazyka [A Practical Guide to Learning Italian] (Odessa, 1886; Odessa, 1890), and in his Dizionario Italiano-Russo. Slovar’ ital’yansko-russkiy [Italian-Russian Dictionary] (Odessa 1894). The purpose of this article is to examine De Vivo’s life and works, which represent the first recorded attempt – in De Vivo’s own words – “to promote Russian language learning in Italy and Italian language learning in Russia.”

Full textAbstract:
Rather than focusing on how Italians share the neighbourhood with other groups, this paper examines some of the intra-group processes (i.e. relations between Italians themselves) that produced various monuments to Italian migration in Australia, Brazil and Italy. Through their distinct styles and formulations, the monuments reflect diverse and often competing elaborations of the migrant experience by different generations at local, national and transnational levels. The recent increase in the construction of such monuments in Australia is linked to the gradual disappearance of ‘visibly’ Italian neighbourhoods. These commemorations effectively transform Italian migrants into Australian pioneers and, thus, resolve moral and cultural ambiguities about belonging and identity by de-emphasizing difference (ethnic diversity) and concealing intergenerational tensions about appropriate ways of expressing Italianness. Similarly, the appearance of monuments in Italy is linked to an emergent ‘diasporic’ consciousness fuelled by Italian emigrants’ growing ability to travel to Italy, but also to the attempt to obscure potentially destabilizing dual identities by emphasizing (one, Italian) ‘homeland’.

The Introduction to this special issue explains the rationale for its publication. It is intended to further the exploration of both sides of the Queensland–Italy connection, extending the already considerable body of work on Italians in Queensland and contributing to the heretofore less-examined field of Queenslanders’ experiences of Italy. In particular, the influences exerted on Queenslanders by Italian culture and history, and the many ‘views from Queensland’ of Italy and Italians, warrant further attention. The contributions to this issue therefore fall into two categories: those concerned with Italians in Queensland, which relate to migrants and their descendants; and those concerned with movement in the opposite direction, but mainly for purposes other than migration, such as study and work, personal exploration, and acculturation. They include an interview, a memoir, a creative non-fiction piece and two book reviews, alongside five research articles.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the development of relations between France and Italy in the context of the status of the Italian population of Tunisia issue. Thanks to the agreements reached by the Italian states and the government of Tunisia, in the first half of the 19th century mass emigration of Italians began to Tunisia, as a result, by the end of the 19th century, a significant Italian diaspora had formed in Tunisia. The establishment of a French protectorate over Tunisia led to the question of the status of the Italian population of Tunisia, which was eventually settled by the Franco-Italian convention of 1896. After the First World War, France refused to comply with the decisions of 1896. The French government set itself the goal of naturalizing Italians in Tunisia. The Italian government strongly opposed such a policy. The negotiations did not lead to a settlement of the conflict. The place of the ‘Tunisian question’ in relations between Italy and France in the 1920s is analyzed, the numerous discussions of the problem of the status of Italians in Tunisia and Italy’s attempts at least to maintain the situation, that existed in accordance with the 1896 convention, are considered in the article. It is proved that Tunisia, with its large Italian diaspora, occupied a significant place in the African policy of Italy during the period of fascism. It is substantiated that the period of the 1920s was essentially the preparatory work for a more serious discussion of the colonial problems that arose between France and Italy, which resulted in the Laval-Mussolini agreement of 1935.

Internal migration in Italy increased in the 2000s due to foreigners residing in the country. Foreigners have changed the characteristics of Italy’s internal migration. Extended gravity models were run to highlight the differences between the migratory behaviours of Italians and foreigners. The model was implemented to detect the different effects of the Italian and foreign populations, and the distances between the provinces of origin and destinations of the inter-provincial migration of Italians and foreigners. Estimations obtained for the years 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 highlight the different evolutions of the phenomenon.

The author remarks that the curators have privileged the multimedia diversification of the sources rather than their in-depth analysis.

Christopher Duggan made extensive use of the correspondence of the AmericanTimesjournalist William James Stillman in writing his important biography of Francesco Crispi. This article focuses on Stillman’s published works that deal with the Italian statesman, principally his 1898 history of Italy since 1815, the first and only English-language biography of Crispi until Duggan’s, and the journalist’s own autobiography. It argues that, despite Stillman’s much vaunted love for Italy, he in fact despised most Italians, and saw in Crispi’s virtues a rejection of typical Italian conduct. While Stillman was extreme but not altogether unusual among British and American commentators on Italy in his passionate support for Crispi, his contempt for Italians was surprisingly widespread among late Victorian observers of the new nation.

Background: There is evidence that non-Italians presented higher incidence of infection and worse health outcomes if compared to native populations in the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to compare Italian- and non-Italian-born health outcomes, accounting for socio-economic levels. Methods: We analyzed data relative to 906,463 people in Umbria (Italy) from 21 February 2020 to 31 May 2021. We considered the National Deprivation Index, the Urban–Rural Municipalities Index and the Human Development Index (HDI) of the country of birth. We used a multilevel logistic regression model to explore the influence of these factors on SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization rates. Diagnosis in the 48 h preceding admission was an indicator of late diagnosis among hospitalized cases. Results: Overall, 54,448 persons tested positive (6%), and 9.7% of them were hospitalized. The risk of hospital admission was higher among non-Italians and was inversely related to the HDI of the country of birth. A diagnosis within 48 h before hospitalization was more frequent among non-Italians and correlated to the HDI level. Conclusions: COVID-19 had unequal health outcomes among the population in Umbria. Reduced access to primary care services in the non-Italian group could explain our findings. Policies on immigrants' access to primary healthcare need to be improved.

В статье представлены результаты комплексного антропогенетического анализа группы современных «итальянцев Крыма», являющихся потомками итальянских мигрантов с Апеннинского полуострова с конца XVIII до начала XX вв. Генетическое исследование основано на анализе распространенности генотипов и аллелей семи аутосомных полиморфных генов (PAH, TH01, NOS3, SLC6A3, CCR5, ACE, FABP2) среди итальянцев Крыма и сопоставлении частот их встречаемости с мировым распределением для определения генетических характеристик изученной группы и ее положения в пространстве других мировых популяций. По данным пяти маркеров потомки итальянцев более близки европейским популяциям и ближе всего к русским, что говорит о степени метисации данной группы, как и высокий уровень гетерозиготности. По рассчитанным расстояниям для FABP2, PAH, TH01 они тяготеют к исторической предковой популяции итальянцев Италии, но оределить территориальное происхождение не представляется возможным. Анализ фамилий «итальянцев Крыма» и их предков в качестве надежных квазигенетических маркеров показал, что большинство мигрантов (52,53%) имело северное происхождение, 27,72% мигрантов происходили из южных регионов Апеннинского полуострова, 19,75% − из центральной области Италии. Трансформации, которым подвергались во времени исконные фамилии итальянских мигрантов, отражают сложный процесс адаптации итальянских групп в Черноморско-Азовском регионе. Результаты исследования дополняют знания по этнической геномике итальянцев. The article presents the results of a comprehensive anthropogenetic analysis of the group of modern “Italians of Crimea”, who are descendants of Italian migrants from the Apennine Peninsula from the late 18th – early 20th centuries. The genetic study is based on the analysis of genotype and allele prevalence of seven autosomal polymorphic genes (PAH, TH01, NOS3, SLC6A3, CCR5, ACE, FABP2) among the Italians of Crimea and comparison of their frequencies with the world distribution to determine the genetic characteristics of the studied group and its position in the space of other world populations. According to the data of five markers, the descendants of Italians are closer to European populations and closest to Russians, which indicates the degree of mestizatisation of this group, as well as a high level of heterozygosity. According to the calculated distances for FABP2, PAH, TH01, they gravitate to the historical ancestral population of Italians of Italy, but it is not possible to determine the territorial origin. The analysis of the surnames of “Italians of Crimea” and their ancestors as reliable quasi-genetic markers showed that the majority of migrants (52.53%) were of northern origin, 27.72% of migrants originated from the southern regions of the Apennine Peninsula, and 19.75% from the central region of Italy. The transformations that the original surnames of Italian migrants underwent over time reflect the complex process of adaptation of Italian groups in the Black Sea-Azov region. The results of the study add to the knowledge on the ethnic genomics of Italians.

O artigo analisa dois elementos recorrentes nas edições dos três primeiros anos do jornal portoalegrense Stella d'Italia (1902-1904), editado em italiano, a saber: o descontentamento com relação ao estado em que se encontrava a instrução entre os italianos e ítalos-brasileiros em Porto Alegre e a polêmica com o cônsul italiano Enrico Ciapelli, que resultou na suspensão do envio de material às escolas italianas, mantidas pelas sociedades italianas apoiadoras do jornal. A polêmica, não relatada nos relatórios oficiais do cônsul, teve como elemento detonador a acusação, sustentada pelo editor do jornal, de que o cônsul pouco se interessava pela escola italiana e pelos compatriotas. Considerando-se a escassa literatura sobre as escolas étnicas italianas de Porto Alegre, o jornal Stella d'Italia tem particular importância pelo destaque frequente à temática da educação e pela marcante opinião e zelo do editor, Adelchi Colnaghi, pela escola étnica italiana. Os apelos e considerações de Colnaghi na defesa da escola italiana, seu diagnóstico sobre as dificuldades da mesma, bem como o estado da educação entre os italianos em Porto Alegre foi reiterado, muitas vezes, nas páginas do jornal. Colnaghi estava convencido da importância da escola italiana, mas na perspectiva do jornal pouco se fez pela mesma e, às vezes, se fez contra.

Ensuring drug safety for pregnant women through prescription drug monitoring is essential. The aim of this study was to describe the prescription pattern of medicines among pregnant immigrant women from countries with high migratory pressure (HMPCs) compared to pregnant Italian women. The prevalence of drug prescriptions among the two study populations was analysed through record linkage procedures applied to the administrative databases of eight Italian regions, from 2016 to 2018. The overall prevalence of drug prescription was calculated considering all women who received at least one prescription during the study period. Immigrants had a lower prevalence of drug prescriptions before (51.0% vs. 58.6%) and after pregnancy (55.1% vs. 60. 3%). Conversely, during pregnancy, they obtained a slightly higher number of prescriptions (74.9% vs. 72.8%). The most prescribed class of drugs was the blood and haematopoietic organs category (category ATC B) (56.4% vs. 45.9%, immigrants compared to Italians), followed by antimicrobials (31.3% vs. 33.7%). Most prescriptions were appropriate, while folic acid administration 3 months before conception was low for both study groups (3.9% immigrants and 6.2% Italians). Progesterone seemingly was prescribed against early pregnancy loss, more frequently among Italians (16.5% vs. 8.1% immigrants). Few inappropriate medications were prescribed among antihypertensives, statins and anti-inflammatory drugs in both study groups.

However, there are only a few published studies of the possible influence of social and cultural factors on its prevalence in the general population. This cross-sectional study of the San Siro social-housing neighbourhood of Milan, which was carried about between 23 December 2020 and 19 February 2021, found that the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies in the population as a whole was 12.4% (253/2044 inhabitants), but there was a more than two-fold difference between non-Italians and Italians (23.3% vs. 9.1%). Multivariable analyses showed that being more than 50 years old, living in crowded accommodation, being a non-Italian, and having a low educational level were associated with higher odds of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, whereas a higher level of education, retirement, and being a former or current cigarette smoker were inversely associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our findings are in line with previous observations indicating that a lower socio-economic status may be a risk factor for COVID-19 and show that non-Italians are disproportionately affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This suggests that public health policies should focus more on disadvantaged populations.

Infection of the oral cavity and dentures by Candida species are frequent in denture wearers. C. albicans is the most common pathogen; however, other emerging Candida species are also responsible for this condition. Few data are available about the occurrence of Candida species in the oral cavities of denture-wearing immigrants to Italy. In this study, we compare the Candida species found in the oral mucosa and on dentures from a population of denture wearing immigrants to Italy to a matched Italian group. Oral swabs were collected from dentures and the underlying mucosa of patients enrolled in the study and were then cultured to test for the presence of Candida species in each sample. Out of 168 patients enrolled (73 Italians and 95 immigrants), 51 Italians (69.8%) and 75 immigrants (78.9%) tested positive for the presence of Candida. Candida albicans was the most frequently observed species overall; however, we found a higher occurrence of C. glabrata among immigrants than among Italians. In addition, immigrants displayed a higher incidence of Candida – associated stomatitis and a lower mean age than Candida-positive individuals from the Italian group. Immigrants are more prone to longer colonization of the oral mucosa and dentures by Candida. In these patients, dentures must be checked periodically to prevent the presence of Candida.

Full textAbstract:
Each society has myths about the successful adaptation of former migrants. Historians need to deconstruct these myths by dealing with the imagined boundaries between “indigenous” and “foreign” people that give way to them. This essay does so by comparing how children of Polish interwar immigrants and children of Italian postwar immigrants came to be seen as insiders in the Belgian Limburg mining region. Oral testimonies, associational records, and population data reveal that Poles achieved the status of industrious, adapted people around 1960, due to the equal promotion of Polish and indigenous miners' sons in the mines and to the labour migration regime which constructed Italians as unskilled outsiders. Around 1980, the industrial recession caused unemployment among young Italians. However, migration politics has, since the recession, primarily focused on culture. Moreover, European legislation constructed foreignness as non-European. Consequently, it is not class, but European culture which has turned Italians into “integrated” people.

About 2,000 Jews were deported from Rome during the nine months of German occupation, half of them after the infamous German razzia of 16 October 1943. Who took part in their identification and arrest? Italian historiography has most commonly focused on a few ardent Fascist collaborators, while the majority of Italians were proclaimed to be engaged in rescue operations for persecuted Jews. Due to the long-standing hegemony of the notion of ‘italiani brava gente’ and the taboo against discussing Italian collaboration, almost no studies of the Jewish persecution during the German occupation in Italy have been undertaken. The analysis of over 50 trials against Fascist collaborators offers insight into the caccia all'ebreo on the micro-level of occupied Rome. Elaborating on different forms of denunciations characterizing the persecution as well as the diverse motives of the Italian perpetrators, this article presents a comprehensive picture of the collaboration between German occupation forces and the population of Rome.

Abstract The Circolo Italo-Americano, a Progressive-era group of educated Italian immigrants and affluent Bostonians, was founded by settlement movement pioneer Vida Dutton Scudder to integrate Italians into American life through “friendly personal contacts,” social events, and educational opportunities. The Circolo included Italian leadership and focused on immigrants’ contributions, not on “assimilation.”

SUMMARYIn this study we assessed the seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in both the Italian population and immigrants from developing countries in Foggia (Apulia, Southern Italy). The seroprevalence of HEV was determined in 1217 subjects [412 (34%) immigrants and 805 Italian subjects (blood donors, general population, HIV-positive, haemodialysis patients)]. Serum samples were tested for anti-HEV and confirmed by Western blot assay; in positive patients HEV RNA and genotype were also determined. There were 8·8% of patients that were positive to anti-HEV, confirmed by Western blot. The prevalence in immigrants was 19·7%, and in Italians 3·9% (blood donors 1·3%, general population 2·7%, HIV-positive patients 2·0%, haemodialysis patients 9·6%). Anti-HEV IgM was found in 38/107 (35·5%) of the anti-HEV-positive serum samples (34 immigrants, four Italians). This study indicates a higher circulation of HEV in immigrants and Italian haemodialysis patients, whereas a low prevalence of HEV antibodies was seen in the remaining Italian population.

Full textAbstract:
The use of demographic data about cardinal mortality drawn from Salvador Miranda’s “Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church” archive confirms and quantifies the greater vulnerability of northern Europeans to Rome’s malarial fevers relative to their Roman counterparts. Non-Italian visitors to Rome suffered about three times the rate of malaria deaths as did Italians and Greeks, who had acquired various defenses against malaria. Northern Italians were far less susceptible than expected to Rome’s malarial fevers, however, whereas Iberian visitors to Rome were far more so. The eventual decline of malaria in Rome was not so much a function of climate change as of Rome’s steady post-1600 population growth.
