| Brindisi has been the subject of extensive emigration during the 20th century, as well as all cities in the South. Emigration focused mainly on the lower strata of society who abandoned the countryside. Emigration can be traced in two great waves. The first, which was at its peak in the years immediately before and after the [[First World War]], was almost exclusively to the Americas (and mostly to the United States, [[Argentina]], and [[Brazil]]). The second wave of migrants from Apulia headed instead for Northern Europe after the [[Second World War]]. Attracted by the industrial development of some northern areas of the country, many Apulian migrants also settled in the [[Piedmont]] and [[Lombardy]] regions of northern Italy, and particularly in [[Milan]]. Since the 1960s, when the large [[petrochemical]] companies were joined by mechanical, naval, and aviation corporations, Brindisi was able to create employment opportunities for technicians and workers. The city experienced a small regional immigration, attracting families from neighboring provinces and regions. Another important chapter in the [[demography]] of the town was definitely the exodus of people from [[Albania]] in 1990–1991, which lasted almost a decade and led to the port of Brindisi receiving waves of Albanian immigrants.<ref>Immigrazione albanese sulla stampa quotidiana</ref> | Brindisi has been the subject of extensive emigration during the 20th century, as well as all cities in the South.
