Life in Italy
According to a May 2008 poll, 68% of Italians wanted to see all of the country's approximately 150,000 Gypsies, many of whom were Italian citizens, expelled.[5] The survey, published as mobs in Naples burned down Gypsy camps that month, revealed that the majority also wanted all Gypsy camps in Italy to be demolished.[5]
On June 18, 2018, Minister of the Interior
Matteo Salvini announced the government would conduct a census of
Romani people in Italy for the purpose of deporting all who are not in the country legally.[7][8][9][10] However this measure was criticized as unconstitutional and was opposed by all the oppositions and also by some members of the
M5S.[11]
