“…It contrasts with the thriving scholarship on nineteenth-and twentiethcentury Italian emigration, including women emigrants (Friedman-Kasaba 1996;Bianchi 2001;Gabaccia 1988). Recent publications have redressed this (Colucci 2016;Andall 2008;Marchetti and Sgueglia 2008), but much research remains to be conducted on the variety of migratory experiences during this period, including distinct gender patterns, and the cultural and socio-economic impacts of this earlier immigration.…”

This introduction to the special issue ‘Gender and Work in Twentieth-Century Italy’ draws on key strands of historical scholarship on gender and work, including women workers’ experiences, labour market discrimination, domestic work, the impact of gender norms, and ideas of masculinity and femininity on work identities. It traces the development of feminist influence within this scholarship, from making women workers’ experiences visible to challenging essentialist notions of gender identities. Drawing on post-structuralist and intersectional perspectives, particularly influenced by Joan Wallach Scott and Judith Butler, the scholarship on which this special issue is based understands gender as a system of power signified through language and social constructions, and builds on the critique of the dichotomies and essentialisations of traditional labour history, proposing a systemic and structural approach to understanding gendered experiences of work. By exploring the intersections of gender, work and power, this collection offers insights into wider European developments and challenges established historical concepts and narratives. It highlights the importance of understanding gender dynamics in shaping labour relations and social structures, ultimately contributing to a more nuanced understanding of labour and power dynamics in twentieth-century Italy and beyond.

“…The initial and most decisive phase covers the period between two key moments: 1963, the year in which the Ministry of Labour and Social Security issued circular no. 51 with the aim of establishing, for the first time, guidelines for the recruitment of foreign workers; and 1979, when CENSIS published the Rapporto sui lavoratori stranieri in Italia , at the request of the government, in the context of what can be considered the ‘first widespread public debate on the subject’ (Colucci 2016, 948). It is worth noting how, during this phase, political interventions and coverage in newspapers and magazines increased markedly.…”

“…A series of circulars were issued, creating a condition of recurring amnesty ( sanatoria ) triggered by the intention to ‘regularise’ the unauthorised domestic workers (Colombo and Sciortino 2004, 53; Colucci 2016, 951–952; Einaudi 2007, 107; Sarti 2010b). These provisions did not limit the arrival of migrants, let alone resolve their irregularity 9 .…”

‘Entirely white’? Female immigrants and domestic work in Italy (1960s–1970s)

Recently, a renewed history of foreign immigration in Italy, focusing on the very first migration flows after the Second World War, has offered a more appropriate periodisation of the phenomenon. Women have been at the forefront of these flows, which were initially determined by the new postcolonial setting of the former Italian colonies (Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia). Subsequently, the immigrants came from various other countries (Spain, Cape Verde, Portugal, El Salvador, Peru, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ceylon, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan). At the same time, the majority of them were employed in a specific sector of the labour market: domestic work. This article focuses on female immigrants who were employed as domestic workers, their presence in public discourse in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s, and government policies in this area. Drawing on statistical data and surveys, press and audiovisual materials, and feminist theory and practices, it aims to analyse the construction of paradigms – visibility, invisibility, subalternity, rights and racialisation – associated with female immigration and domestic work as a specific sector of employment.

“…Especially, in the early phases of this history, immigrants saw Italy as a second-best choice or a temporary destination (Colucci, 2018). Over time, however, the country became one of the most relevant countries for immigrants in Europe, with a stable immigrant population (Bonifazi, 2013).…”

Due to a lack of relevant data, very few empirical studies have examined the changes in and stability of secondary migration intentions. We aim to fill this gap by analysing return migration intentions among international migrants in Italy. Data are drawn from the cross‐sectional SCIF survey conducted by ISTAT in 2011–2012. Our findings reveal that migration intentions at the beginning of the migratory experience tend to differ from those measured at more advanced migration stages (i.e. at the time of the survey). In particular, intentions to return seem less stable than intentions to stay. When confirming intentions to return or remain, critical factors include financial stability, family situation and ties with the country of origin and destination. Additionally, having an Italian partner, a partner living in Italy, and a positive self‐assessed family financial condition are positively associated with transitioning from a temporary plan to a permanent settlement intention.
