After so many decades of social invisibility, the Chinese presence was suddenly noticed within the framework of general alarmism accompanying the emergence of Italy as an immigration country.

Chinese entrepreneurs and their workers therefore had limited interactions with mainstream society.Nowadays, having spread out all over the country and penetrated many different sectors of the economy, Chinese entrepreneurs and their workers have in many ways developed interactions with mainstream society.The article analyses the development of Chinese entrepreneurship and its perception in mainstream society, and highlights the emergence of different (and contrasting) processes of social integration. While the activity of Chinese enterprises results in the emergence from below of significant processes of social integration that trend to overcome the ethnic divide, identity prescription is the answer from mainstream society to Chinese claiming their belonging to Italy, and characterizes the emergence from above of other processes of social integration that stress the ethnic divide.

This article examines the growing role of Chinese descendants in the country (within Chinese enterprises and new forms of interaction with the mainstream society) and their processes of identity formation, focusing the attention on the role played by Italian society and the dominant prejudices about this ethnic minority. The study highlights the relevance of social exclusion and identity prescription, as well as the importance of class, in determining different feelings of belonging and processes of identification. While a minority of middle-class Chinese have identified with Italy and developed a new hyphenated identity, many Chinese from the lower class appear uncertain about their national identity and react to social exclusion by abandoning hope and dropping out of education.
