Crisis slows the migration to more developed countries. OECD survey points out that the immigrants who arrived in 2008 in the 31 member countries were 4.4 million. That means arrivals down by about 6% over the previous five years, where instead the figure had grown by an average of 11% per year. And the first 2009 data suggest a decrease even more important. According to the OECD, the decline is bound to decline the offer of employment in member countries. The migrants are actually working in the areas most affected by economic difficulties, such as construction and tourism. Furthermore, it appears that many immigrants lost their jobs, they decided to return to their country of origin. Italy, however, is experiencing a different phase and show numbers in contrast with what happens in other advanced countries.

And the stream of arrivals, despite the economic crisis, has kept pace important throughout 2009, and today, according to data Caritas has over 5.1 million share. In addition to these illegal immigrants, estimated to be approximately 544,000, according to research conducted supports the Catholic University of Gian Carlo Blangiardo professor of demography at the University Milano-Bicocca. Immigrants, Italy and Spain topped the rankings for EU number of arrivals, "The speech has a broader scope, beyond the considerations that can be done for the past two years and the consequences of the crisis. Italy has topped the European charts for the entry of aliens. In the last five years in our country have entered an average of 360,000 immigrants per year. And the trend seems to be constant. Only Spain there is a little later in this list, with 400,000 arrivals a year. In contrast to Germany, the European country with most foreigners (about 6,500,000), each year the newcomers are ten times lower than what is happening to us, "says Luca Di Sciullo, a researcher with Caritas Migrantes.

Although the enigmatic smile is still a mystery, French researchers have discovered a few secrets about how famous work was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, "Mona Lisa." The researchers studied seven of Leonardo's works from the Louvre Museum, including the Mona Lisa, and analyzed the technical success and very thin layers of paint, which gives his paintings that mystery. Experts from the Center for Research and Restoration of the French museum has found that da Vinci used up to 30 layers of paint in his paintings to achieve subtle alternation of light and shadow. Added, the layers were less than 40 micrometers, or about half the thickness of a hair, said lead researcher Philippe Walter, quoted by the Associated Press. The technique, called "sfumato", he allowed da Vinci to create an illusion of depth and shadow. The technique is known, but research on them was limited. French researchers have used a noninvasive technique to study the X-ray layers and their chemical composition. The device is so precise that "we can now find the mixture of pigment used for each layer painter," said Walter. Through analysis of several paintings, experts have also found that da Vinci constantly experience new techniques. To achieve the painting "Mona Lisa" of manganese oxide he used for shadows. In others, used copper.

The report data CNEL. L 'India beat Romania in the integration work list, even though it ranks ninth for number of residents and the tenth by number of employees.

Based on the number of residents, the methodology has been to base the comparison on a range of employment indicators Inail through the incorporation of a first index with absolute values (employees, new hires, sales workers, business owners) and a second in percent (annual sales of employed and employment rate of conversion of hours worked in full-time positions, changes in wages). A ranking but only partially coincides with that of residents and the total number of employees who instead sees the primacy of source countries such as Romania, Albania and Morocco. "The differences depend on the higher rate of activity of some communities than others." Annual changes, the report says, that "diminish the weight of the absolute values and as Romania, Albania and Morocco, even if they remain among the top communities are located near national numerically smaller groups such as Moldova, the ' Ukraine and India. " But despite the ranking, says the CNEL, "job placement is just one of the factors that make the integration process, which is influenced by too many social variables such as family reunification, the presence of children, access to citizenship and so way ".
