There are many ways to speak about immigration, Rome is the only city that allows you to do from a gasoline station. Every night, when petrol station close their doors, all around Rome hundreds of guys start their shift. They have devised a new “job”: self-service petrol stion attendant , offering their help to the drivers in exchange of a tip. Most of them come from Bangladesh, the rest from India. All of them work without shelter from the cold and rain, sometimes sitting, often standing.
