Summary/Abstract: Over time, migration dynamics in Italian metropolitan areas have profoundly changed symbolically and materially the social, economic and cultural landscape of the settlement neighbourhoods through a migratory stratification characterised over time by commercial activities, daily relations in public spaces and exchanges in domestic spaces. If the concept of ‘social stratification’ is related to social inequality, indicating the division of society into different social strata (or social classes), the concept of ‘migratory stratification’ refers to the progressive overlapping of different migratory movements in the same socio-territorial context.
