Over the past decade, close to 600,000 Italians have sailed westward across the Atlantic Ocean seeking a better work life amid decreasing professional opportunities at home. Artists in particular, despite the country’s illustrious standing as the most important center in Western art history, are leaving in search of a place where they can do their art full time.
Four Italian artists, Luca Capponi (36, documentarian), Cecilia Fontanesi (41, dancer), Carlo Siliotto (74, film composer) and Mattia Biagi (50, artist and designer) have told their story of migration from Italy and self-fulfillment in America, where they’ve been able to turn art into their job. After a first phase of adaptation and going through challenging moments, they all experienced a greater freedom of artistic expression in the United States, finding serious opportunities of professional realization and a highly receptive audience.
