In this article we argue that apart from its proven individual benefits, organisations and whole countries can gain culturally, socially and materially by embracing multilingualism. Speaking multiple languages may even increase our happiness.

E sua una serie di volumetti di costumi e maniere, tra il manuale e la parodia: Come aprire e chiudere una conversazione, La donna moderna con esempi del suo linguaggio tipico, e questo Piccolo manuale di giochi per viaggiatori (del 1913).

While those experiences mark the history of the peninsula well before the formation of the Italian state, since the time of unification, in particular, a series of narratives about mobility and nation has been produced both inside and outside the boundaries of Italy by agents such as the Italian state, international organizations or migrant communities themselves.

Narratives may have converged or diverged over time, but they have all aimed to stabilize and fix the inherently dynamic and plural nature of Italian identities and cultures. And, while mobility is at the heart of all these narratives, the value attached to it can be positive or negative, and is often ambivalent....
