Lo studio si inquadra nella prospettiva del local turn, secondo la quale le città sono chiamate a svolgere un ruolo sempre più importante nella definizione delle politiche pubbliche nell'integrazione dei migranti. Si concentra, in particolare, sul caso della città di Milano, nel tentativo di dimostrare se il sistema locale di accoglienza fornisca ai rifugiati gli strumenti adeguati a integrarsi nella comunità ospitante. Utilizzando una metodologia qualitativa, basata su interviste semi-strutturate con funzionari locali, attivisti di ONG, membri del Terzo settore e volontari, si è tentato nello specifico di comprendere se e come i rifugiati del sistema di accoglienza di Milano possano trovare un alloggio, al termine del processo istituzionale. In tal modo, si è anche tentato di capire come il Comune stia aff rontando le restrizioni al sistema di asilo italiano, la crisi del welfare, i sistemi di off erta di alloggi dominati dal mercato, il sentimento di sospetto o razzismo nei confronti degli immigrati, considerati come un peso o una minaccia per la società. ; This study is anchored on the perspective of local turn in migrant integration, which requires cities to play an increasingly important role in defining public policies. Consequently, the research focuses on the explorative case of the city of Milan, aiming to demonstrate whether its local system provides a toolbox for refugees to promote their integration in the host/majority milieus. Through a qualitative method, based on semi-structured interviews with politicians, local officers, NGO activists, volunteers, and refugees, we will try to understand élite and non-élite perspective about how and where the refugees of the reception system of Milan can find an accommodation, at the end of the institutional process. In this way, it will also be possible to understand how the municipality is facing the restrictions to the Italian asylum system, the crisis of the welfare, the market-dominated systems of housing provision and the suspiciousness or racism towards immigrants, considered as a burden or a threat for the society.

The winemaking sector is one of the most productive worldwide, and thus it also generates large amounts of by-products with high environmental impacts. Furthermore, global market trends and government regulations promote industrial alternatives based on sustainable production processes. As a result, several studies have focused their attention on the reuse of grape by-products in the agro-food chain. Vine shoots, grape stalks, and wine lees, although produced to a lesser extent than grape pomace, have increasingly been receiving attention for their applications in the food sector, since they are a good source of functional and bioactive compounds. In this framework, our review highlights the promising results obtained by exploiting the antioxidant and/or antimicrobial activity of vine shoots, grape stalks, and wine lees or their extracts to replace the most common oenological additives and to assay the activity against food pathogens. Further, innovative functional foods and sustainable food packaging have been formulated by taking advantage of polyphenols and fiber, as well as plant bio-stimulants, in order to obtain grapes and wines with high quality characteristics. Overall, these by-products showed the potential to be recycled into the food chain as functional additives for different products and applications, supporting the sustainability of the winemaking sector.
