Emigration tragedies
The history of the florences,
calabrian and italian emigration is dotted with
individual and collective tragedies, work
incidents, massacres of men, exploitation
and even slavery.
We
must and we can remember what ours fallen underwent;
it's time to remove the
taboo that has encapsulated the foreign
tragedies of our workmen.
To fall on their work in foreign country in order to
send maintenance to their own families is a destiny
which implied hundreds of southern emigrants, but San
Giovanni in Fiore
paid a tribute far too heavy, with a long and
painful list of victims.
Many
becamed rich on the drama of our population, before,
during and after, tie profit from who left and who
stayed: it's time to make clearness and to institute
debates and research on all that means for the
florenses the emigration. Put our destiny in history
in order to search ways for a better future.
