Abstract
Following globalized processes of migration, the emergence of new religious groups in the European urban landscape leads us to revaluate the meanings of the urban texture, bringing about new, varied forms of interaction and negotiations between native inhabitants and migrants (Peach 2002). The paper examines new Catholic groups in Padua and the multifaceted spaces and spatial practices they have created, as well as their relationship with the dominant local Church and society in general. In particular it examines the risks and resources of these emergent spatialities, underlining the importance of giving visibility to both and of focusing the research and policy on the relationship between religion and space.
