The Wall of Padua~Italian Ghetto CBC National 2008 01 29 divx
;;
Don Murray reports on Via Anelli, a walled ethnic slum that has come to symbolize the failure of the immigrant experience in Italy
;;
The Anelli estate in Padua is a cluster of crumbling high-rise flats.It was built in the 1980s to house the city's considerable student population. ;; It became home to several hundred African immigrants.
;;
It had a reputation for crime, drugs and prostitution, and is a constant source of angry complaints from local Italian residents.
;;
After riots in 2006, an apartheid-style wall—a ring of steel-- separated it from the neighborhood and now finally it is empty. But the controversy rages on.
;;
Countless millions of poor Italians emigrated around the world. Now the shoe is on the other foot.
;;
Now Italy needs cheap labor but no comprehensive laws allow the needed migrants to be integrated in an orderly, legal fashion.
;;
There are 1.6 African migrants in a population of 60 million. Is the issue purely racism?
;;
Ghettos develop and crime hotspots disturb local areas and like elsewhere it is a hot button issue without the political will for a solution. (poster's description)
