Italians, a people of Saints, sailors, poets and emigrants. This phrase represents the truth for more than thirty million Italians who emigrated abroad in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Nossa Introdução

There are more than 64 million descendants of Italian emigrants scattered in various countries, and many of them would like to find traces of relatives, close or not, who left our country, during the world wars, to try their luck abroad. The same phenomenon, certainly more pronounced, happened to our relatives in Calabria, and among the most popular destinations, South America has always been one of the countries that appears in the first places. In this text we are going to address the so-called ‘genealogy tourism’, which consists of traveling for emigrants and descendants to visit the land of their ancestors.

1) How to find my ancestors in Italy – MAKE A GENEALOGY TOURISM TRIP

The desire to return to the ‘departure station’ to discover the places of origin, where the family’s history began, is very common to all the children of immigrants in the world, and it’s called Genealogy Tourism. Be sure to read this Post until the end, as we have a Program called Rediscovering our Origins in Italy! A phenomenon that opens up great opportunities for the sector and that in our country is still in its infancy, although Italy, in the late 19th and seventies, was the point of origin of a migration phenomenon that involved thirty million of our compatriots.

In search of roots

The journey and the stay in the places of origin represent an experience of high emotional content, because it provides an opportunity to see your loved ones and, above all, rediscover the places that marked your life before leaving, or, in the case of the descendants , the trip aims to search for their roots and discover the places where their grandparents or predecessors lived. Increasingly, there are calls from people interested not only in classic tourism, where they can visit the most important art cities, but many are those who are asking to include, in the classic itineraries, visits to their cities of origin, a return that, for many, it means discovering their country of origin, culture and tradition, as well as the origins of their relatives.

2) How to find my ancestors in Italy – MAKE A “RETURN TOURISM” TRIP

The segment of so-called ‘return tourism’ is getting more and more enriching, and this text wishes to deepen this theme, which gives an idea of how alive the interest for the recovery of its cultural roots is. How many times have you heard, perhaps at a Christmas lunch or, more easily, at a family meeting, someone remembers the various relatives and the vicissitudes of each of them, how many times have you heard that your grandfather died in the war or emigrated because of of the same? Certainly, many times.

Emotional Experience

The memories are many and with the inexorable passage of time they seem to be postcards that have lost their ink and color. Sometimes, of the relatives who emigrated after the two wars, neither the name nor surname is known. The return to the great-grandfather’s village is above all an emotional, visceral experience, and returns a true story that speaks of the escape from poverty, but also of the rediscovery of traditions, words, tastes, people and feelings. It is often the reminder of origins that attracts relatives from many different places and we see the descendants willing to stop for a little longer ‘to visit different places’. And then my partners will be able to meet this new goal, with personalized services in places of departure from the greatest Italian emigration.
