More than one thousand of Serbian and Macedonian Roma live within the urban area of Naples, in Italy. They have reached the town during the Balkan migrations of the last decades. Left out from the possibility of obtaining houses, they have occupied empty peripheral areas. Such informal settlements do not have essential services and municipal installations. Nevertheless the residents long for stability. They make efforts to repair the environment, turning their supposed temporary condition into home.
