Medicina tradizionale e strategie di cura tra gli immigrati marocchini residenti nell’area metropolitana di Napoli

The authors present a selection of research materials collected within the framework of an Erasmus+ KA171 project and related to the ethnographic analysis conducted on the care strategies adopted by first- and second-generation Moroccan immigrants living in Naples metropolitan area. The focus is on the persistence and/or transformation of traditional practices compared to official Italian medicine. The research aims to understand how these people cope with their health issues and seek treatment in Naples. Specifically, to what extent they continue to use traditional medicine practices learned in Morocco, where medical pluralism is widespread, and how these may coexist or interact with the treatments provided by the Italian healthcare system.
