sound strange to many. Yet it is the reality. There was a time not too long ago, when Italians emigrated to Romania and just like the Romanians from us, they had a good reputation in the country lies on the Black Sea is an exhibition on emigration, which was held in Parma, split in half the veil of anti-bias shape the mentality of the Romanian most of the Italian people today. Over a hundred previously unpublished documents, unearthed by the State, revealed a reality of illegal immigration, exploitation of children for begging and sold, the other countries of prejudice against us and everything else. An episode is emblematic. A letter sent to Italy by the Italian consul in India, in 1893, explains how to Bombay all the exploiters of prostitution would have been counted erroneously Italian origin. So much so that Italian became synonymous with pimp for prostitutes. In mid-900, however, Romania was the country that put more vetoes to our immigration. The police chief, Carmen Senise, in the '40s in a resolute way stigmatized the behavior of their fellow countrymen in the Romanian nation. In a statement he wrote "The legation in Bucharest reports that some Italians who arrived in Romania on a temporary basis, do not leave the country after expiry of their residence causing problems with the police authorities in Romania also for their exemplary behavior is not always required for the activity and not entirely clear from the above took place. " I mean Italians arrived in Romania with a tourist visa, but then they used to stay well beyond its natural end. The phenomenon was so massive that Mussolini was forced to issue a travel ban for skilled workers. From simple workers could only after strict procedures to check the documentation, given the complaints that came from other countries. Italy was not even immune from child trafficking. Especially in the middle of the nineteenth century, many baby-beggars were, in fact, rented to become adults so that boys or beggars, suffering abuse and humiliation of all kinds. Most of them did not return to his country of origin. A fresco of a work worthy of Victor Hugo.
