A former seaside village situated to the west of Genoa’s dowtown and a favorite resort with local and international bourgeoisies, Sampierdarena was stripped of its beaches, its pleasantness, and its prestige in the early twentieth century due to the expansion of Genoa’s port. After turning into a working- to lower-middle-class neighborhood, in the mid-1990s Sampierdarena went on to become the destination of a massive immigration from Ecuador. As the Ecuadorian community became the largest immigrant group in Genoa, tensions began between the newcomers and the Genoese residents. Nowadays, some of the most frequently voiced complaints about Sampierdarena are the neighborhood’s rise in crime rates and the difficulties in syncronizing the schedules and habits of the (mostly aging) Italian residents with those of the considerably younger Latin American community. Within apartment complexes, for example, squabbles among neighbors frequently arise around the issue of noise levels that the Genoese are not willing to tolerate. Public space is just as contested: on one hand, Genoese residents complain about the street parties and the brawls that erupt at night, often leaving behind carpets of broken beer bottles (Gazzola, Prampolini, and Rimondo 2014: 120); on the other hand, Ecuadorian youth deprecate the scarcity of public spaces where to get together, play soccer, listen to music, and party without incurring the grievances of Italians (Flores and Valencia León 2007). However, what singlehandedly triggers the most anxieties among the Genoese is the presence of pandillas: gangs of Latino youth such as the Latin Kings or the Netas who, unlike less sensational facets of Ecuadorian immigrants’ life, receive considerable attention at the hands of the local media (Queirolo Palmas 2005).14
