From the preface by Davide Berruti:
"The idea to study the condtions and the level of social integration of Kurdish exiles in Italy, first arose four years ago, when President Ocalan, who had come to Italy from Moscow aroused the affection and the solidarity of the hundreds of thousands of Kurds living in Rome, in Italy and in the whole Europe. In these difficult, dramatic and intense days which moulded and shaped all future developments with respect to the Kurdish question, we as Europeans and Italians especially, witnessed an extraordinary and inexplicable (for those who do not know the Kurds) mass mobilisation. we alsa saw cases of humanitarian and strong relations of solidarity between Itaian and Kurds, who were shown to be living in conditions of poverty right under the nnose of the international media" .
