Italy's model migrant town struggles to survive

Description

The artisan shops in Riace's historic centre are shuttered and its alleyways quiet as locals wait to see what will happen to Italy's world-renowned model of migrant integration. The mayor of the hilltop hamlet in Calabria was hounded out of town earlier this week for favouring illegal immigration, but Domenico Lucano has vowed to fight on to protect the way of life here.

  • Codogno, the town that foresaw confinement

    Codogno (Italia), Feb 19 (EFE).- (Camera: Gonzalo Sánchez) There was a time when a town in northern Italy wanted to save the world from the pandemic. Codogno became Europe's "ground zero" a year ago and began an unusual confinement trying to cage the virus, an intention that would soon disappear.Codogno woke up on February 21 a year ago with one of his neighbors infected with the new coronavirus, the first indigenous case, not imported, found in Italy and Europe. FOOTAGE OF THE TOWN OF CODOGNO, IN ITALY SOUNDBITES OF LUCIANO PARMIGIANI, CODOGNO RED CROSS COORDINATOR"There were really tough moments because they left at dawn and arrived at night. In a hundred days we have done 145,000 kilometers and 2,300 interventions, when normally as Emergencies we carry out nine or ten interventions a day. This way, you can understand the accumulation of work we had in those 120 days. "DOCTOR STEFANO PAGLI, CHIEF OF EMERGENCIES OF THE MAYOR HOSPITAL MAYOR OF LODI AND CODOGNO"Surely the awareness of being in front of something that we had never seen with that dimension. The idea was that it was a challenge that could have given better results than unfortunately we have obtained. We thought we could contain it, for a week we believed it , but later we realized that it was not in any way containable because at the same time it had already arisen elsewhere. But that first week we believed it. This was a strong motivational element that gave me and the others a strong push to give the best of us. Each one of us did it because we were strongly motivated by a higher objective: To try to safeguard and protect the rest, not so much Lodi, which was already difficult, or Bergamo, which we already knew was going through moments of great difficulty, but above all Milan."
