Abstract: This study examines the evolution and impact of Italian associations abroad in the context of recent emigration trends. Italian migration has diversified in profiles, motivations, and paths since 2008, challenging traditional analysis models. Italian associations, which historically supported emigrant integration and cultural identity preservation, now adapt to new emigrant generations and skilled professionals. Using data from various Italian and international sources, the research highlights the associations’ roles in legal, professional, and emotional support, particularly through digital technologies. Case studies from Argentina and China illustrate their critical functions during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings emphasize the associations’ importance in maintaining cultural ties and providing practical assistance, underscoring their relevance in a globalized world.
