title: [Being born, getting married, and dying as a foreigner in Italy].
abstract: Some demographic characteristics of Italy's foreign-born resident population are examined using official data.  "An analysis of multiple correspondences has been applied, on the one hand, to births of children with at least one foreign parent and, on the other hand, to all those born of both African parents.  In the first case a number of situations have been found--concerning above all parents of different nationality and mainly regarding the high proportion of children born outside marriage and delays in the nuptial and reproductive calendar--which can be probably ascribed to the perturbations caused by immigration to family life.  In the second case indications have been detected of the existence of some risks for the babies (low weight at birth, high [natal] mortality) of weaker groups of immigrants." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
