The challenges of anti-Gypsyism

Sandro Turcio has published on the blog of the CNR-IRPPSWelfare Post, an article entitled "The challenges of anti-Gypsyism"

“… In Italy live about 150-180 thousand Roma, Sinti and Caminanti (RSC), equal to no more than 0,3% of the Italian population. This is one of the lowest percentages in Europe: if we were like Bulgaria or Macedonia, the Roma would have to be around 6 million. In Europe, the Romani population is estimated at 11,3 million people, while in the European Union the average estimate is 6,2 million people, equal to about 1,2% of the population ”.
