The search for one’s origins is an exciting and deeply personal journey. A journey that Italea Piemonte makes possible through its roots tourism program, an initiative that celebrates the indissoluble bond between Italy and its descendants around the world. Roots tourism is not a simple journey, but an immersion in family history and culture that has shaped the identity of those who, despite living far away, feel the strong call of the land of their ancestors. As anthropologist Marc Augé points out, it is the link between identity, relationships and history that truly defines a place. For Italian descendants, this place is Italy, a heritage of traditions, art, gastronomy and landscapes that continues to live in the hearts of those who carry the Italian heritage in their blood.

The Collaboration with Beatrice Dummer and the Article on GAZ

In this context, the precious collaboration with Beatrice Dummer, who has been able to masterfully tell the profound meaning of roots tourism, fits in. His article, published in the renowned Brazilian newspaper GAZ, “La Bella Italia: Redescobrindo as Raizes Italianas”, offers a touching testimony of this journey of discovery of oneself and one’s origins.

Beatrice Dummer’s article captures the essence of the Italea program, which aims to transform the search for roots into an unforgettable experience, a “homecoming” in the truest sense of the word. An experience that goes beyond a simple tourist visit, offering the opportunity to reconstruct one’s family history, connect with local communities and rediscover the places that marked the lives of one’s ancestors.
