This thesis aims to analyze migration flows from Eastern Europe, and Romania in particular, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Chapter One seeks to provide a historical overview with respect to the social and political condition of Eastern Europe, and Romania in particular, during the years before and after 1989. Indeed, this analysis allows us to understand and study some of the external causes and factors that prompted a high number of people to migrate from East to West after the fall of the Wall. The second chapter, using the historical tools provided by the first, focuses on migration from Romania to Italy after the fall of the Berlin Wall. After providing historical foundations regarding this migration flow, the chapter focuses that narrative that has been made of this phenomenon. On the one hand, some articles exemplifying the perception of Romanian migration to Italy in the 1990s will be presented, while on the other hand, interviews, conducted by the undersigned, will be transcribed and contextualized, reporting the direct experiences of people who instead experienced and created this phenomenon firsthand. The last chapter focuses on a news story, the case of Giovanna Reggiani, who was killed in 2007 in Rome by a Roma person, and tries to analyze how some Italian political narratives have used this case to destroy solidarity and fuel an already partly present racism.
Questa tesi vuole analizzare i flussi migratori provenienti dall’Est Europa, e in particolare dalla Romania, dopo la caduta del Muro di Berlino. Il capitolo primo vuole fornire un quadro storico rispetto alla condizione sociale e politica dell’Europa dell’Est, e in particolare della Romania, durante gli anni antecedenti e successivi al 1989. Questa analisi permette infatti di comprendere e studiare alcune delle cause e dei fattori esterni che hanno spinto un alto numero di persone a migrare da Est a Ovest dopo la caduta del Muro. Il secondo capitolo, utilizzando gli strumenti storici forniti dal primo, si concentra sulle migrazioni provenienti dalla Romania e diretti verso l’Italia dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino. Dopo aver fornito basi storiche riguardo a questo flusso migratorio, il capitolo si concentra quella narrazione che di questo fenomeno è stata fatta. Da un lato verranno presentati alcuni articoli esemplificativi della percezione delle migrazioni romene in Italia negli anni Novanta, mentre dall’altro verranno trascritte e contestualizzate delle interviste, condotte dalla sottoscritta, che riportano le esperienze dirette delle persone che invece questo fenomeno lo hanno vissuto e creato in prima persona. L’ultimo capitolo si sofferma su un fatto di cronaca, il caso di Giovanna Reggiani, uccisa nel 2007 a Roma da una persona rom, e prova ad analizzare come alcune narrazioni politiche italiane hanno utilizzato questo caso per distruggere solidarietà e alimentare un razzismo già in parte presente.
Il Muro invisibile: storia, cause ed effetti della prima ondata migratoria romena verso l’Italia dopo il 1989.

Abstract
This thesis aims to analyze migration flows from Eastern Europe, and Romania in particular, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Chapter One seeks to provide a historical overview with respect to the social and political condition of Eastern Europe, and Romania in particular, during the years before and after 1989. Indeed, this analysis allows us to understand and study some of the external causes and factors that prompted a high number of people to migrate from East to West after the fall of the Wall. The second chapter, using the historical tools provided by the first, focuses on migration from Romania to Italy after the fall of the Berlin Wall. After providing historical foundations regarding this migration flow, the chapter focuses that narrative that has been made of this phenomenon. On the one hand, some articles exemplifying the perception of Romanian migration to Italy in the 1990s will be presented, while on the other hand, interviews, conducted by the undersigned, will be transcribed and contextualized, reporting the direct experiences of people who instead experienced and created this phenomenon firsthand. The last chapter focuses on a news story, the case of Giovanna Reggiani, who was killed in 2007 in Rome by a Roma person, and tries to analyze how some Italian political narratives have used this case to destroy solidarity and fuel an already partly present racism.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
