Abstract

Immigration in Italy became sizable at the end of the 1980s, with initial inflows from the Mediterranean countries, together with the Philippines, Latin America and some Sub-Saharan countries (including Senegal and Ghana). In the 1990s, following the dissolution of the socialist block and URSS, inflows increased at a higher pace, and the composition also changed with migrants coming from Albania and the other Eastern European countries. Poland was an early contributor, later replaced by Romania, Ukraine and Moldova.
