2024: THE YEAR OF ITALIAN ROOTS IN THE WORLD
The Italea project has been launched, which helps Italians residing abroad and Italodescendants to discover their roots through places and traditions, offering the support of expert genealogists. The project provides a set of tourist services – routes, workshops, discounts – to facilitate travel in Italy, thanks to the work of a dense network of professionals who will take care of informing, welcoming and assisting travellers in every region of Italy.
The program also offers a series of roots workshops, activities that allow to deepen the knowledge of the culture of origin, and therefore linked to ancient crafts, traditional cuisine, popular music and dance, and dialects.
The name Italea derives from talea, a practice by which a plant is allowed to propagate. By cutting a part of it and replanting it, it can be given new life, making new roots grow: just as happens with migrations. This program represents an invitation to rediscover the mother plant.
For further information, you can view the brochure, attached to the page, and the website dedicated to the project.
