--They
are by now two centuries that our population is forced to
emigrate, and the generations of the descendants of
our emigrants are quit a lot.
emigrati.it wants
to be a small help for who feels the need for seeking
its own roots, an assistance for who comes from far
away and does not even know the language, a contribution
for an analysis of our mass migratory experience, a memory of the deprivations, the sacrifices, the tragedies, the
drama of a population, forced to eradicate from its
own ground and its own culture in order to go encounter
the unknown...
--...we
don't have to forget that the greater part of the first
emigrating Florenses, at the beginning of the nineteenth
century, embarked in Naples on the way for America. The
most "ancient" florenses emigrants are those of North
and South America: many are the generations of American
florenses.
--emigrati.it is born to stimulate and maintain links of friendship,
agreement and brotherhood between the emigrants and
their sons which are in the foreign country and in the
country of origin, Calabria and Italy. Stimulate
the interest for the History of the country of origin,
Calabria and Italy, for their political, economic and
social evolution, for the language, the literature,
the arts and all the cultural events.
--emigrati.it is born to strengthen the links
of friendship and collaboration between the associations
of Florenses, Calabrians and Italians in the world. Develop the relations of good
neighbourhood, the feelings of respect and mutual sympathy
and the cultural exchanges between San
Giovanni in Fiore and
its province, Calabria and the countries where
Florenses, Calabrians and Italians live.
