As part of the cultural initiatives to inform Italian citizens living abroad, the 2nd Office of the Foreign Ministry’s Directorate General for Italians Residing Abroad and Migration Policies financed the 2015 production of “The Italian Way”, a documentary directed by Luigi Maria Perotti and produced by Stamen Film. The financing was allocated from Budget expenditure item 1322. The website of the Italian Embassy in Washington, from which the documentary can be downloaded, states that it tells the story of several young Italian expatriates who have settled in foreign Countries and who have become established professionals, with the aim of showing how the world perceives the positive and negative aspects of being Italian.
