Vistose e vincenti migrazioni. Da una ricerca a un volume, a un documentario, a un museo

Through a study of cases that we consider emblematic, cases found in Basilicata, the project we report on here concerns certain forms of representation of the migratory project where the photographic, and then above all cinematographic, image was deliberately chosen as the main instrument to give visibility to the results of working and professional experiences gained on American soil by certain enterprising Lucanians who decided to abandon their native land for an economic and social redemption to be attempted, overseas, in New York and Chicago. The project has generated a book, five documentaries and a museum currently being set up in Castelmezzano.
