Not only for work: Italian migrants in the Athens area

Abstract: According to the official Italian administrative data, the community of Italians living in Athens went on growing over the years, including the last decade. What are the drivers of Italian immigration in a less-developed country than Italy, a country which recently has also experienced a more serious crisis than the Italian one? To answer this question, we followed a research strategy based on in-depth interviews to Italians living in the Athens area. After reviewing the features of the Italian community and t… Show more

“…They may be seen as the other pole of this recent migratory flow: individuals who see themselves as active agents in a path of labor and personal mobility that is conceived from the outset as a path of international migration. Some of them set out to live authentic global lives -an attitude we can find both among younger people, who are oriented primarily toward accumulating life and work experiences abroad (Delli Paoli and Maddaloni 2021), and among those in their thirties who choose a career as a manager in an international organization or transnational company, or even set out to find even relatively deskilled employment in the transnational segment of the labor market (Maddaloni and Moffa 2021). We leave it to future research to ascertain the extent to which ongoing disruptions in the international order -in particular, the persistence of the COVID-19 epidemic and war events in Eastern Europe -are producing changes in this complex migration pattern.…”

“…Regarding the sampling process, in each research a first approach to Italian migrants was made through social media (more specifically, through blogs, Facebook pages, WhatsApp groups, etc.) (De Rosa and Maddaloni 2020, Maddaloni and Moffa 2021, Maddaloni 2022. Starting from these contacts, we used the snowball sampling technique and carried out several semi-structured interviews with Italians living in the target areas.…”

“…The aim of this paper is to present some results of two research projects, on Italian communities abroad conducted independently during 2017 and 2018. More specifically, one research was focused on the Italian diaspora in Athens, Greece (Maddaloni, 2019;Maddaloni & Moffa, 2020), whilst the other one investigated the more recent and still growing Italian emigration to the city of Valencia, Spain .…”
