Abstract
This chapter deals with demo-migratory characteristics and settlement models of the main communities of citizens of countries belonging to the former Soviet Union (FSU) resident in Italy. The data used come from the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) and Eurostat and refer to population statistics at different territorial levels in the recent past. At first, the evolution and principal characteristics of the presence of citizens of FSU on a national scale will be analyzed. Then, by using global and local indices of territorial analysis, the settlement models will be detected. Finally, the use of symmetric and asymmetric multidimensional analysis highlights: (1) similar and differential aspects of the profile inside the FSU group and in comparison to the principal foreign communities residing in Italy and (2) relationships among demographics and migratory characteristics of FSU migrants and their settlement models.
