The seminar presents a series of in-depth studies on the theme of internal migration in relation to the history of the Italian Communist Party in the period between the end of the Second World War and the 1970s. In thematic terms, the four planned speeches, discussed by scholars who are experts in the history of migration and 20th century political history, articulate a reflection centred on the mobilisation of the PCI in the face of phenomena such as the movement of millions of male and female workers towards urban areas, labour commuting and the social battles waged against discrimination towards immigrants.
