Casilino 900, on the eastern outskirts of Rome, was one of the largest Roma (gypsy) settlements in Europe. Over 600 Roma, largely from the former Yugoslavia, lived at Casilino 900 with
no public sanitation or electrical supply. They were caught up in a national anti-immigrant backlash, despite a long-standing presence in Italy. Casilino 900 was demolished at the beginning of 2010.
