  • Paceville, Malta - 21 August, 2012: Clients of the Hilton Hotel relax in one of the four pools of the resort in Portomaso, Paceville, Malta, on 21 August, 2012. <br />
<br />
Portomaso in Paceville, St. Julian's, Malta, is a waterfront residential development covering an area of 128,000 square metres (31 acres). Portomaso also encompasses one of Malta’s Marinas.<br />
<br />
Malta has reached a record in 2011 for inbound tourism with approximately 1.4 million tourists, equivalent to an increase of 5.6% when compared to 2010. According to the Malta Tourism Authority, each year Malta hosts over one million visitors and this accounts for 23% of GDP. Thirty per cent of the Maltese population is directly employed in this fast growing sector.<br />
<br />
1,597 migrants of 30 different nationalities arrived in Malta by boat in 2011. A person arriving in Malta without a valid passport or visa can be detained in terms of immigration law for a period up to 18 months (12 months in case of asylum seekers). Vulnerable individuals can be released early after vulnerability assessment procedures are conducted by the Agency for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers (AWAS).<br />

  • Hal Far, Malta - 20 August, 2012: (R-L) Somali migrant Abdullahi Ali Mohamed (25), his wife Dunia Ahmed Mohamed (29) and their daughter Bofana Mohamed (6) are in a recreational room of the Hal Far Family Center in Hal Far, Malta, on 20 August, 2012. Abdullahi arrived with his family in Malta on May 27, 2012, was held in detention with them for 9 days before being transferred to the family centre. Him and his family left Somalia because of the war on May 25th 2011 and took them about a year to arrive in Malta. They stayed in Libya about 9 months. Though smugglers in Libya ask $900 to each migrant who wants to cross the Mediterrannean Sea to reach Europe, Abdullahi agreed with one smuggler to pay $900 for his entire family, since it's all he had. Abdullahi and his family had one bottle of water for the 37 hours journey from Libya to Malta.<br />

<br />
Feeling the heat from Greece and Spain, which had prioritized vaccination campaigns on their islands to lure tourists away from Italy,  Vincenzo De Luca - the president of the Campania region, which includes Capri -  diverged from the government’s vaccination strategy of prioritizing categories of more vulnerable Italians. Instead, he treated Capri and other holiday islands as special cases. He fast forwarded vaccinations on Capri by flooding the island with doses and inoculating first seniors, then the middle-aged, then 20-somethings and even some teenagers while the rest of the region was still struggling to inoculate all its 70- and 60-year-olds.

  • MONTEGRANARO, ITALY - 28 NOVEMBER 2019: A nine-story apartment block above a supermarket, entirely vacant save for one unit, is seen here in Montegranaro, Italy, on November 28th 2019.<br />
<br />
Montegranaro is a hilltop town that has seen its 600 footwear companies cut down to 150. The town’s population has dropped from about 14,000 two decades ago to 13,000 today, and about 1,000 are now immigrants -- Albanians, Africans, Chinese. According to Mauro Lucentini, this is not a trend to be proud of. The Africans loiter the streets, drunkenly harassing women, he says: “The Nigerians are savages.”<br />
<br />
Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around.

<br />
Between 2001 and 2011, Prato’s 6,000 textile companies shrunk to 3,000, and those employed by the plants plunged from 40,000 to 19,000, according to Confindustria, the leading Italian industrial trade association. As Prato’s factories went dark, people began arriving from China - mostly from the coastal city of Wenzhou, famed for its industriousness - to exploit an opportunity.<br />
They set up sewing machines across the concrete floors and imported fabric from factories in China. They sewed clothes, cannily imitating the styles of Italian fashion brands. They affixed a valuable label to their creations: “Made In Italy”.

<br />
In the 1990s, the Germans began purchasing cheaper fabrics woven in the former East Germany, Bulgaria and Romania. Then, they shifted their sights to China, where similar fabric could be had for less than half the price of Prato’s. Chinese factories were buying the same German-made machinery used by the mills in Prato. They were hiring Italian consultants who were instructing them on the modern arts of the trade. By 2000, the Nesi textile factory was no longer making money.<br />

<br />
Today, roughly one-tenth of the city’s 200,000 inhabitants are Chinese immigrants who have arrived legally, while many estimates put the total number at 45,000 after accounting for those without proper documents. <br />
Chinese grocery stores and restaurants have emerged to serve the local population. On the outskirts of the city, Chinese entrepreneurs oversee warehouses teeming with racks of clothing destined for markets across the continent. Estimates have it that 80 percent of clothing sold in street markets within the European Union is made by Chinese workers in Prato.<br />

  • PRATO, ITALY - 25 NOVEMBER 2019: Roberta Travaglini (61), who has lost her job at a textile mille four years ago, poses for a portrait nearby her apartment in Prato, Italy, on November 25th 2019.  For the past four years, Roberta Travaglini has been unable to find a job, forcing her to live off support from her retired parents. She says she will not look for work in the Chinese-owned clothing businesses, because she feels uncomfortable there. But she shops for clothes in the Chinese clothing store across the street from her apartment because she can no longer afford the boutiques downtown. Since losing her job, she has survived by fixing clothes for people in her neighbourhood, using the workshop on the ground floor of her parent’s apartment.“When I was young, it was the Communist party that was protecting the workers, that was protecting our social class. Now, it’s the League that is protecting the people, that goes toward the people’s problems. I see a similarity between the Communist Party and the League.”<br />

Today, roughly one-tenth of the city’s 200,000 inhabitants are Chinese immigrants who have arrived legally, while many estimates put the total number at 45,000 after accounting for those without proper documents. <br />
Chinese grocery stores and restaurants have emerged to serve the local population. On the outskirts of the city, Chinese entrepreneurs oversee warehouses teeming with racks of clothing destined for markets across the continent. Estimates have it that 80 percent of clothing sold in street markets within the European Union is made by Chinese workers in Prato.<br />

Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around. <br />
<br />
Between 2001 and 2011, Prato’s 6,000 textile companies shrunk to 3,000, and those employed by the plants plunged from 40,000 to 19,000, according to Confindustria, the leading Italian industrial trade association.

  • PRATO, ITALY - 25 NOVEMBER 2019: Claudio Vivarelli (53) is seen here checking the quality of a fabric at Marini Industrie, a textile company that has survived Chinese competition in Prato, Italy, on November 25th 2019. Claudio Vivarelli has been working at Marini Industrie for 20 years. Marini Industrie is one of the few companies in Prato that weren’t hit by Chinese competition, by elevating their quality.<br />
<br />
Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around. <br />
<br />
Between 2001 and 2011, Prato’s 6,000 textile companies shrunk to 3,000, and those employed by the plants plunged from 40,000 to 19,000, according to Confindustria, the leading Italian industrial trade association.
