SUMMARY
=======
Racism in Italy deals with the relations of Italians and other ethnic groups in the history of Italy. Racism like bigotry is encountered in most societies, and Italy is one of them. Italians, though a unified sense of national-corporate identity as found in the classic European nations to the north has been historically fragile, have long prided themselves on an absence of racial enmity. Under Benito Mussolini's fascist state, once the régime consolidated its pact with Nazi Germany, anti-Semitic  laws were passed, as were laws prohibiting internal migration under certain circumstances. The post-war mass migrations from the south towards the industrialized north engendered a degree of anti-southern prejudice. A wave of immigration by extra-comunitari (non-EU immigrants. The word has strong undertones of exclusion) from the late 80s, gave rise to political movements, like the Northern League, hostile to both southern Italians and clandestini (illegal immigrants) from areas south of the Mediterranean. In 2011, a report by Human Rights Watch pointed to growing indications of a rise in xenophobia within Italian society.
