Is this really surprising? Many people don't realize how much Italy changed in the recent years because of mass immigration from North Africa and Muslim countries. In many cases the immigrants just wanted to go to Germany or Sweden and treated Italy as necessary evil. The life of several communities, some very small, has been completely changed. One thing that people resent is that in many places immigrants are treated differently by the police. It's as if they were reluctant to intervene. Because there's very little integration, the immigrants and Italians form two different societies, very often closed to each other. That's a recipe for disaster. There is some hope, though. The children of immigrants integrate quite well. They want to play with all colleagues, and, at least in the primary school, the problem of racism is not really visible and Italian children enjoy the company of their new colleagues. My guess that Italy in 20-30 years will be a much different country as far as the society is concerned, but not necessarily worse than it is now.
