EMIGRATION

                                                     ITALIANA (MEI)

Il museo come luogo di riflessione e di identità, come ricerca storica per ricostruire le ragioni della grande emigrazione italiana dal 1876 al 1915 raccontata attraverso oggetti, documenti e filmati. La grande emigrazione tra le due guerre mondiali tra il 1916 e il 1945 e l´esodo del secondo dopoguerra, dal 1946 al 1976, durante gli anni della ricostruzione e del decollo economico. Infine, il ruolo degli italiani nel mondo dagli anni ´70 ai nostri giorni. Questo è il percorso espositivo del Museo Nazionale dell´ Emigrazione Italiana set up in the Hall of Gipsoteca Vittoriano Complex in Rome that aims to reflect on our history of being Italian. A process of identity formation in a foreign land, shared by immigrants from different regions of Italy in the knowledge and respect for diversity. The Museum was inaugurated on October 23, 2009 in the Victorian landmark of the community of Italians in Italy and worldwide. Emigration in the last decades of the `800 has involved many regions of Italy and the highest number of departures has been descending into Veneto, Friuli, Piedmont, Lombardy and Campania. In the first fifteen years of the twentieth century, Sicily was the region with the highest number of starts, followed by Campania, Veneto, Piedmont and Lombardy. After World War II there is instead a flow of migration from southern regions to the north of Italy, emphasizing southern discomfort in terms of employment and empowerment. In recent decades, Italy has become a country of immigration, expanding their cultural boundaries and questioning the roots of their Italian character. Not an Italy alone, but many different realities recount the difficulties of a multicultural still struggling to identify a single, still holding the live debate on national identity.
