Each story, each biography presented within the MEI's exhibition itinerary is unique, but the reasons for departure, the places of destination, the difficulties encountered, the professions practised, the positive and negative experiences, are often similar and unite migrants of the past and present.
In this section of the website, it is possible to explore a selection of stories about emigration using a thematic filter, exploring topics such as emigration due to political or religious reasons, migration dictated by economic and labour requirements or sentimental reasons, migration as seen through the eyes of children, experiences related to coping with a language or culture different from one's own or reflecting on one's personal identity in the balance between two worlds.
