For a Mediterranean roots & arts research
The cardboard suitcase
Giuseppe De Marco, 2003
From a sketch of Giuseppe De Marco, Florense Artist emigrated from San Giovanni in Fiore in his early infancy in Rome, there fore Roman actually, but very attached to his origins, investigator of his roots, and from his sense of irony necessary to face so serious and dramatic topics like those related to the emigration, is born this cardboard suitcase, bind with a string which is untying itself and will perhaps be opened revealing its secrets, maybe the suitcase will leave the plans for a rational development of our land resources to not to be forced to emigrate anymore...
We believe that if we work together to 'put in history' and to the analysis of what represented and represents the EMIGRATION for the southern Italian people and our city, some answers for the future we'll find it.
