Giuseppe, a 32 year old Sicilian has turned his passion for food and Italian gastronomy into a profession that has led him to export the products of his land to Singapore where he has a small business that produces mainly the focaccia bread from the South of Italy. “The emotions of the past are present in what I do: we use the same starter that was used by my grandparents and we follow the traditional recipe, adapted to Singapore’s climate”.Giuseppe speaks about his experience in the new issue of “Postcards from the other Italy”, a web series produced by the 9Colonne News Agency with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of International Cooperation – Directorate General for Italians Abroad and Migration Policies. “I import most of the products directly from Sicily – said the young entrepreneur – here people are quite fascinated by the history of the focaccia bread”.
The interviews of “Postcards from the other Italy” give a dynamic, natural, practical and updated storyboard of the other Italy, the one beyond the national borders: the dreams, expectations, comparisons, joys and disappointments of young Italians who have opted for making an experience abroad, whether for will or for necessity, using their testimonials to maintain that unbreakable tie that links them to their Country of origin. The interviews span from Brussels to New York, from Rio de Janeiro to Shanghai: every week the web series schedules a new video interview to outline the profile of the new generation of emigrants, visible on the 9colonne.it website, on the YouTube channel of Nove Colonne and on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
