We do not know much about post-war camps in Italy. Partly, they
were internment camps built and run by the Allies, partly they were
organized by Italian authorities restoring previous Fascist camps. It is
evident that in 1944-1945 internees were still the older ones. In the
following years Italian authorities tried to ship them back to their
homeland, but it was not always simple. At the same time, new
refugees came from Central-Eastern Europe. At this point, old Fascist
camps had to be recycled en masse as camps for refugees, while the
Allies transformed their own camps but relinquished control over
them to International organizations
