Migrantes Report 2008: Young Italy in the world 
Submitted to Rome at the Auditorium of Labor, the third edition of the "Italians in the World Report 2008" sponsored by the Fondazione Migrantes The new edition of the Report Migrantes, published by Editions idios, this year the consolidated its role as an observatory on Indeed, too often ignored, of Italian. The book was presented in Rome is not just a statistical overview of migration flows, or a card that has value for the image that has printed on it. There is a story behind, millions of stories, written and signed by millions of Italians in the world. These are the stories of the old and the new migration, nostalgia and expectations, past and current events.
"simply describe the emigration - writes Mgr. Piergiorgio Saviola Director General of the Fondazione Migrantes - is anything but a trivial task, because this reality escapes mostly to the general public, not only with regard to the past but also for the present and the future: between those professionals uncertainties can be found when it comes to frame what is meant by the concept of 'Italian' in the world and the fact that Italians (especially if born abroad) in other countries. " The Report 2008 Migrantes
wants, in fact, be, to borrow the words of Father Michael Morando, Director of the Office for the Pastoral Care of Italians in the world of Migrantes "a look that will help us to embrace our history, 150 years of our exodus abroad and the last 30 years of immigration in Italy."
A look from a privileged position to help us to understand - for those who still had not understood - how to keep this story alive, dynamic and forward-looking. Solidarity and cooperation. Because, as mentioned by Father Michael Morando, Italians abroad are "immigrants of yesterday"
and foreigners in Italy are "immigrants of today."
Breaking this chain of solidarity would break the bonds themselves that bind each migrant to their country. Would demean the history of Italian migration, either as outflows as well as inflows. Enough to remember the conditions that prompted the Italians to emigrate, and be aware of the unfairness of the distribution of wealth in the world to understand, as the report points out that "we can engage with both the Italians abroad that foreign immigrants Italy, building a network in itself is no guarantee of success. "

The bond that these young people with insturano Iitalia, says the report Migrantes is different from that of their parents. "Their sense of Italian style is of different social implications and culture that young people themselves do not reject, provided specifying them in a concrete and compose with the fact of living in another society.
