But then no: Italians have been and are everywhere in the world...

Among the more than 300 festas that every year celebrate Italy in the US, a number that seems impossible but instead is real, today our interview will bring us to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Let's face it, this is not the first city that comes to our mind when we think about the American places of the Italian emigration: and probably it isn't even in the...

Gli italiani che vivono negli Stati Uniti hanno votato, come noi che viviamo in Italia, per le elezioni dello scorso febbraio. Tanti candidati, tutti mossi dal grande amore per l'Italia, divisi in formazioni politiche a volte identiche a quelle che si fronteggiavano in Italia, a volte diverse: in una circoscrizione elettorale gigantesca che compren...
