1. Introduction of migration. Migration to Sardinia started in the early postwar decades when more than 3000 employers from the continental area of Italy settled in Sardinia. In recent years, many migrants came from different countries, in particular from Central-Eastern Europe (mostly German and Romanian)…

2. From Europe…

3. … from China, Morocco and Senegal. On December 31 of 2008 immigrants were estimated to be approximately 30,000, about 1.8% of the entire population of Sardinia.

4. ...from the rest of the world.

5. Migrants are integrated into our city: they are mostly assistants for old people, baby-sitters, but also business men, salesmen and restaurant owners .

6. In Cagliari migrants are not considered a problem; indeed they are an important part of our community. In fact the city is one of the first in Italy for the racial integration.

9. In Cagliari there are a lot of other initiatives to increase the racial integration: San Pietro Church organizes the “Festa dei Popoli” in order to understand the foreign culture. “ Santa Caterina” elementary school in the district of Castello, which celebrated its 100 years of service, receives many foreingn students. The project “Comunimondo” was created to prevent racial discriminations.

11. We spoke with our foreign friends and they told us their stories…
