Mattarella's message
The Migrantes report, every year, is an occasion for great reflection. Not only to understand the evolution of migratory flows, but also to study intervention policies to curb the phenomenon. "The community of Italian descendants in the world - he said the president of the Republic Sergio Mattarella - it is estimated at about one hundred and eighty million people, in addition to the more than six million Italian citizens residing abroad. The human, cultural and professional scope of this presence is of inestimable value in the context of that soft-power that allows our country to be placed among those whose model of life enjoys the greatest attraction and consideration.".
