«Non far rumore»

After World War II, more than 2 million Italians emigrated to Switzerland, where the law at the time did not provide for family reunification. In fact, it was forbidden for migrant workers to bring their children with them, and between 1950 and 1980 15 to 30 thousand children entered Switzerland as illegal immigrants, who lived hidden in their homes, unable to go to school, go out and play.
