480-page book collecting biographical stories personally told by the direct descendants of the Italians in the World.

Since 1876, when the first national surveys were made about emigrations, over 26 milions of persons left Italy, about 10 millions of them immediately before the First World War, when the "great exodus" from Europe took place.

We can obtain some examples of that by reading the many stories collected in this book, “The 1001 stories of the Italians in the World”. It is about life stories told by their protagonists themselves, as the subtitle of the collection says, or by the direct descendants of first, second, third and in some cases - especially for biographies located in those places where the emigration is more ancient - fourth generation. It is about events covering about three hundred years of history and several geographical areas of the world.

Stories of Italians in the World of yesterday and stories of Italians in the World of today, so different one from another: full of nostalgia and uncertainty the former ones, full of knowledge and certainty the latter ones and yet associated by the same spirit of adventure, courage and determination.
