8 April – International Roma and Sinti day: Europe’s largest minority and its governance in Italy
International Roma and Sinti Day, observed on 8 April, provides an opportunity to reflect on the status of one of Europe’s largest minorities, which continues to be characterised by structural weaknesses in terms of legal and political recognition. This contribution examines the position of Roma and Sinti communities in Europe and in Italy, with particular attention to the lack of recognition as a linguistic minority within the Italian legal system, ongoing legislative reform efforts, and a comparison with other European models of protection.
