  • Rome, 2010. Casilino 900 was a big area in the suburb of Rome, squatted by immigrants from Sicily at the end of World War II. Slowly, after the immigrants started to get integrated to the society, the zone was squatted by communities of gypsies coming from the former Yugoslavia and became one of the biggest gypsy camp in Europe, with more than 600 people living there (with no water, no public electricity, no sewers). At the beginning of 2010 the municipality of Rome cleared out the camp, and the gypsy community was spread over the city.
