"Italian Migration: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"
David Willey OBE
David Willey
has lived and worked in Italy as the BBC's Rome
Correspondent for 40 years. His maternal grandparents migrated
to London from Venice in 1895. They were among the estimated 27
million Italians who fled hunger and
poverty and left their country during the late 19th and early 20th
centuries to seek new lives abroad. Migration flows
switched direction from the mid-20th century onwards. Millions
of New Italians arrived from the developing world
including China, Bangladesh, the Balkans, Morocco and Senegal.
Now, at the start of the 21st century, tens of
thousands of the brightest and best educated younger
generation of Italians are once again fleeing their country
and creating new lives overseas
- this time because of political corruption, unemployment and
the lack of a meritocracy at home.
ALL WELCOME
