emigrati.it
San
Giovanni in Fiore - Calabria - Italy
We
of emigrati.it are
convinced that it is possible to transform the
phenomenon of the emigration into development
factor of the native territories of
appurtenance.
emigrati.it
is our
proposal of contact and exchange around
fields of common interests between
Calabrians and Italians who live in a
foreign country and those, like us, live in
fatherland.
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.
