Migration and Italian associations in Tunisia

Abstract

The article aims to research the birth and development of the Italian community in Tunisia, as a result of an intense migration; due to the parallel presence on Tunisian territory of Italians and French especially upon the establishment of the French protectorate and on the peculiarities arising from this coexistence. It will also investigate the ability of Italians to found societies enhancing Italianity, in as schools, the chamber of commerce or lay associations, amid these the Latomist society. For the latter, we will focus on the issues during the fascist period and on some specific anti-fascist clubs.
