Abstract

|
| Residency does not only entail the enrolment at the local registry office. It also refers to the concrete space “where a person has his or her habitual dwelling”, as stated by the article 43 of the Italian Civil code. While this definition suggests that all dwellings can be the site of legal residency, in reality, accommodations have to fulfil certain requirements for people to use them as formal addresses. In practice, a wide range of people are thus excluded from the possibility to have residency. Refugees, due to their difficulties to access formal housing, represent a significant section of the excluded population, with significant implications for the enjoyment of social, civil and political rights. This post describes the particular case of Rome. |
