The case of the Municipality of Riace as a crossroads of ideological contrasts in policies for the reception of migrants and their critical points
Abstract. The paper focuses on the model of reception of migrants experienced in the Municipality of Riace, its results and the growing difficulties that led to its end and the initiation of criminal proceedings against the Mayor Domenico Lucano.
