My favored immigration policy for Italy would be something like picking 4 or 5 favored states for a guest worker -> "green card" (no expiry, family) -> citizenship path. It would include overhaul of the school system to accomodate these languages.
Each national community would be focused around 4 or 5 cities with schools offering a spectrum of original language-> italian instruction, with the ultimate goal of producing dual fluency.
Each community would get facilitations to build their own "Piana degli Albanesi" somewhere in the countryside, to produce whatever traditional agricultural goods can be adapted to our climate, and to serve as cultural, spiritual, and social center for their community.
Each community would also get facilitations for importing goods from their home countries, and for investing money back home (their own savings, or act as agents/facilitators for Italian investors).
One of the side quests on this would be to ensure that Rome has excellent air connections to many African capitals, which would set it up to act as a hub for Europeans going there, and Africans coming to Europe.
The objective would be to focus on 4 or 5 bilateral relationships for the first decade or so, and then use lessons learned to explore others. The idea would be that many more people would come to learn, earn, and study, than actually stay long term.
The individual rights of immigrants would be ironclad, but the partnerships with the national governments would be contingent on free and fair elections, respect of human rights, etc
