I'm interested in the living conditions of African migrant workers in the Plain of Gioia Tauro, in southern Italy. They pick oranges earning 20 euros a day. After the Rosarno revolt against racism, they have been forced to live in a tent city. A place made for 300 people was invaded by over 1,200 migrants. The living conditions have become intolerable due to lack of funds for the management of the place.
