The first concerns the mass emigration of circa 26 million Italians (Haller, 1997) out of Italy during the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The second involves the more recent phenomenon of immigration into Italy. In both cases, significant questions arise about the cultural and linguistic integration of such immigrant communities in their host country. With the participation of eminent Italian and international scholars. For a full programme, please click here.
