How to trace your heritage
For some, discovering the names and locations of their ancestors is enough. However, an ever-increasing number want to experience these places in person, to breathe in the same air and walk the same ground as their forebears. Almost all of our tours start at this point – what we do is provide those lightbulb moments that snap the story into historical context.
A story of migrants
Italian migration to countries around the world has a rich and diverse history. Over the centuries, Italians have ventured far from their homeland in search of new opportunities, economic prosperity, and a better life. The Italian diaspora began in earnest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when millions of Italians left their villages and towns to seek their fortunes in the Americas, particularly the United States and Argentina.
These Italian immigrants brought with them their culture, traditions, and culinary delights, leaving an indelible mark on the places they settled. Today, Italian communities can be found in many corners of the globe, contributing to the cultural tapestry of their adopted countries while still maintaining a strong connection to their Italian heritage.
Italian migration is a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and determination. It’s a story of individuals and families who crossed oceans and borders, facing challenges and forging new lives, all in pursuit of a brighter future.
