“…In the sphere of UN initiatives, Italy was consequently restricted to 'a walk-on part'. 77 Italy was not, however, the only country to have a marginal role in refugee programmes promoted by the United Nations. According to Gatrell, the involvement of Spain, Portugal, and Greece was similarly minimal.…”

Italy abolished the ‘geographical limitation’ permitted by the 1951 Refugee Convention only in 1990. Thereafter, it could award refugee status to people in flight from countries outside Europe. Why did Italy come so very late to this resolution? To answer this question, this article intercuts analysis on various different fronts: the strategies of successive national governments; the actual presence on Italian soil of people needing asylum, and the response of local communities; and Italy's location in the international setting. It demonstrates that until the end of the 1970s the Italian authorities continued to see the refugee issue as principally a problem for its internal policy. Italy remained disconnected from the global turn in policy on refugees, which many historians have placed in the period that spans the late 1950s and early 1960s. In their view, state institutions, voluntary agencies, and the international public experienced profound changes at this time in their perception of refugees, starting to see them as a problem at the global level rather than just affecting Europe. For Italy, however, this was not the case, and we therefore need to question the actual impact of the global turn delineated by the studies.

“…58 Throughout the conflict, streams of wounded soldiers meant that hospitals were overcrowded, as around 5.2 million men were hospitalised for an average of three to four weeks each. 59 This accumulation of wounded soldiers further stretched the medical facilities for the treatment of prostitutes and their clients, which countless public health experts and state officials had already described as completely inadequate before the war. 60 Physicians who had previously carried out the inspection of prostitutes were drafted into the war effort.…”

“…The Foreign Officer feared the cost, as well as being caught in the politics of the cold war, and was encouraging only towards non-governmental initiatives. 64 Indeed, by the end of WRY the British government would have given only the equivalent of $US560,000 (the United States, in contrast, pledged US$4,000,000), while private donations amounted to $US5,824,000. 65 Thus, although the British government allowed the ISS GB's scheme in principle, its bureaucratic caution and strategic withdrawal of financial support quietly undermined it.…”
