Brussels, 19 December 2025: The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC)’s Census of Forced Evictions of Roma in Italy: 2021 – 2025 demonstrates that regular evictions of Romani families by local authorities have become a matter of routine in Italy, with more than 129 evictions carried out over the four year period. While the census counts at least 696 people, comprising 67 families who were in most cases made homeless or placed in unstable housing conditions, the gaps in the data and spread of anti-Roma hate speech point to a wider problem in the normalisation of forced evictions of Roma in Italy which has rendered the scandal largely invisible in national reporting.
