In light of the poor and fragmented literature on contemporary Greek diaspora in Italy, not yet adequately covered by the historical and social disciplines, this article attempts to fill that void, thus providing an essential contribution to the studies on the Greek diaspora. Using the results of a field research, we analyze the two main push and pull factors of Greek migration to Italy in the second half of the twentieth century, namely the student migration and the migration related to the Second World War. Through the narrative reconstruction by the second generation members, we retrace the most important phases that have characterized the migratory experience of Greek migrants in Italy within a wider historical framework of analysis, also by using unpublished documents collected in Greek, Italian and American historical archives. We use an analysis method that combines the narratives of second generation members with the statistical analysis of the variables, by reconstructing the family history through the use of data derived from both questionnaires and life stories.

鉴于有关当代希腊侨民的文献贫乏且支离破碎，历史和社会学科尚未充分涵盖，本文试图填补这一空白，从而为希腊侨民研究提供重要贡献。利用实地研究的结果，我们分析了 20 世纪下半叶希腊移民到意大利的两个主要推动和拉动因素，即学生移民和与第二次世界大战有关的移民。通过第二代成员的叙述重建，我们在更广泛的历史分析框架内追溯了希腊移民在意大利的迁移经历的最重要阶段，也使用了在希腊、意大利和美国历史档案中收集的未发表文件。
