Il «Bollettino quindicinale dell'emigrazione» della Società Umanitaria (1947-1970).

This essay discusses the salient points and the motivations that in the second half of the 1940s moved the Società Umanitaria of Milano (thanks to the commitment of Riccardo Bauer) to realize the «Bollettino quindicinale dell'emigrazione», a review published from June 1947 to December 1970, with which the charitable institution from Lombardia showed that it was able to follow with regularity the facts concerning its field of competence thanks to a vast selection of foreign press specialized in migrant labor issues, an information network spread out around the world (Rome, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, France, Switzerland), and some precious and casual collaborations by people who went occasionally abroad. This represents an extraordinary editorial adventure, that often stimulated laws and parliamentary debates so that Italy would cease «to be the lucrative business field of all kinds of slave dealers».
