Italy, one of the strategic entry points into Europe for refugees and asylum seekers, is facing increasing arrivals with a reception system that is not always adequate and not always attentive to people’s real vulnerabilities. The ebook edited by Daria Mendola explores the issue from a multidisciplinary perspective, placing Italy within the broader European context and offering concrete policy recommendations for managing vulnerabilities.
