L’immigrazione meridionale a Torino nell’Italia del miracolo economico. Il caso della Sardegna durante la stagione della Rinascita

Southern immigration in Turin in Italy in the economic miracle. The case of Sardinia during the season of Rinascita. The aims of this work to analyze the Italian migration phenomenon during the 1950s and 1960s of the twentieth century. Italian emigration was a social phenomenon of great importance in the Italian society and the analysis of the history of migration in its various economic, social and political, he joined the Italian national history. It is a known fact that Italy was a nation of great emigration from the nineteenth century to the present day and therefore in the following work I have tried to reconstruct the history of Italian emigration during the second world war. This topic is devoted the first chapter of this work. At the end of World War II, Italy was a poor and agricultural nation and the lack of jobs pushed the Italians to emigrate to Europe and northern Italy to obtain better living conditions. The emigration of Italian workers was at the base of Italian foreign policy and the President of the Italian Government Alcide De Gasperi, who shook economic agreements with European countries to encourage the emigration of the Italian workforce. After the catastrophe of Marcinelle the emigration to northern Italy (more precisely to the city of Turin) represented an important alternative to emigration to Europe. Immigration to the city of Turin is dedicated the second chapter of this work. The city of Turin during the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century was hit by a large flow of migrants coming from southern Italy. Italians from southern Italy went to Turin to look for a job, a home and a better future. With immigration in Turin were born numerous problems: immigrants were living in old houses in the historic center of Turin, were heavy jobs that did not guarantee good living conditions, also the relationship between Italians from southern Italy and the Turin population were very difficult. After analyzing the Southern Italian Immigration in Turin, in the third chapter of this work, I have tried to describe the events and stories of the many Sardinian arrived in Turin during the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century to look for a job and better living conditions. The Sardinians in Turin managed to integrate into the city and were praised for their qualities of honesty, hard work, seriousness and for their intellectual abilities.
