The Farnesina will host the presentation of the book and the web documentary “Italians in Belgium” on 13 February 2018, at 3:30 p.m. The initiative is part of the project “Italians in Europe – European integration seen through the eyes of Italians living abroad”.
Italians in Europe tells the current story and the past history of the Italian community in key European countries, through a series of photography books, multimedia web documentaries and traditional media reports published by National Geographic.
The project, organised in conjunction with the Archivio Diaristico Nazionale, stems from the book and web documentary “Italians and the UK”, published in July 2016 (www.italiansandtheuk.it).
“Italians in Belgium” makes up the first chapter of the new series, to be followed by the release of “Italians in Germany”.
The event will be attended by the Director General of the DG Italians Abroad and Migration Policies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Luigi Maria Vignali, the Minister Counsellor from the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium to Italy, Birgit Stevens, the Director of the National Geographic Italia, Marco Cattaneo, and writers Lorenzo Colantoni and Riccardo Venturi.
