REGIONAL EMIGRATION

Effort, pain, pride: three words that express the epic deeds of compatriots of our nation and our region who in millions between  the Nineteenth and Twentieth century have faced difficulties and prejudices to achieve dreams of a better life, at least more dignified. Letters written in dialect or more or less uncertain Italian; black and white or in color photographs taken in every latitude; work, love, struggle songs; diaries; documents...: from the archives, from attics, trunk and suitcases, from the newspapers, from the memories revives the world of victories and defeats of "when they were us to start" now often forgotten or ignored by the younger generations. The following lines neither have nor want to claim to be complete: they act rather as a switch to turn on connections with a more or less recent past, the root of our present, divided into three large periods of Abruzzo regional emigration.
