After a brief contextualization of the situation of the foreign school population who attends schools in Genoa, this contribution aims to shed light on some aspects of the educational situation in Genoa, in particular, on the vision that the school has regarding the use of the source language within the family and school contexts as well as to other issues related to such use and the possible solutions proposed by teachers. The analysis of the data emerging from the questionnaires submitted to teachers of four primary schools with a large number of foreign students was intended to stimulate the reflection among the parties involved in the school (Ariolfo, 2012; 2013a; 2013b) with the aim to encourage a deeper awareness of potentials, as well as the difficulties posed by schools with students with a foreign background (Lorenzo, 2011).
