Trust in whom? Young Italian people and interpersonal relationships

Abstract

In recent years, a lot of sociological research carried out in Italy and Europe has shown us the leanings of European and Italian young people toward becoming citizens of the world with a high propensity for geographical mobility and open attitudes towards different cultures. It seems to be a globalized, cosmopolitan generation. What are their reference points? What are the important relationships in their lives? Who shapes the way they see the world? And who represents their social identity.
