English Definition
The movement of people into a country or region. Italy transformed from a country of emigration (millions of Italians went to the Americas and Northern Europe) to a country of immigration. Italy now hosts 5 million legal immigrants (8% of population). Italy's position as a Mediterranean gateway has made it a major entry point for migrants from Africa and Asia, creating political and humanitarian crises.
Example
“L'Italia è passata da paese di emigrazione a paese di immigrazione nel corso del XX e XXI secolo.”
In English: “Italy transformed from a country of emigration to a country of immigration during the 20th and 21st centuries.”
