3) If in Vicenza occurred a new relationship between nomads and settle down people
Here comes an evaluation about a well-known subject for VicenzaPiù's readers: the nomad communities problem. During this last time, we've been trying to understand what was nomads' actual situation in Vicenza. It has come out that the nomad communities problem deals with both the nomads - forced to enter the nomad camp because there are no other places where to settle down; as it happened with the viale Cricoli camp - and the town inhabitants - who feels the camp more as a problem than as a way to integrate people inside the social-urban texture. Davide Casadio - president of Federazione rom e sinti insieme - has proposed to create some micro-areas where the nomads can settle down, instead of the nomad camp, in order to tear down the physical and metaphorical barriers between nomads and settled down people. In the meanwhile, waiting for the micro-areas, it could be useful to recognize the nomad camps' role of increasing annoyance both for the nomads and the settle down people.
