This article deals with the impact that Italian migrants, both individually and as a community, had on the rural and urban environment of Kerch, in Eastern Crimea (Russian Empire), during the1820s and 1920s. Occupying a strategic position in the Black Sea for Russia's geopolitics and for the whole European commercial system, this territory's transformation was activated by Russia's imperial re-visioning of the Crimea and by spontaneous foreign immigration. Within this context, the Italian community's contribution to the transformation of the local environment had an important economic impact, relevant also on a wider scale. Some of these changes would have a long-lasting effect but none of them would ever be officially recognised. The aim of this article is to shed light on these processes.

重新构想东克里米亚的领土：意大利社区对刻赤城乡转型的影响

本文讨论了 20 世纪 20 年代和 1920 年代意大利移民个人和社区对东克里米亚（俄罗斯帝国）刻赤的农村和城市环境的影响。对于俄罗斯的地缘政治和整个欧洲商业体系来说，在黑海占据战略地位，俄罗斯帝国对克里米亚的重新构想和自发的外国移民激活了这片领土的转变。在此背景下，意大利社区对当地环境转型的贡献产生了重要的经济影响，在更广泛的范围内也具有相关性。其中一些变化会产生持久的影响，但它们都不会被官方认可。本文的目的是阐明这些过程。
