The Calabrian town of Riace is becoming more and more depopulated. The local mayor found a solution and allowed refugees to settle there. This model integration project breathed new life into the town and enabled its old and new residents to forge friendly relations. Over time, the ones who failed were institutions, not people. The decision to withdraw funding from the project brought the destruction of the newly created community. One of the victims of this change was Becky Moses, a young woman from Nigeria. Her transfer to the camp for illegal immigrants had a tragic end.
