On Saturday 2 November from 09.30 am at the MEV (Ethnographic Museum of Lower Valsesia), located in the famous Villa Caccia, in Romagnano Sesia (NO), an interesting conference entitled “at the roots of migration” will take place.

The initiative was born thanks to the fruitful collaboration between the Municipal Administration, the Museum and Italea Piemonte in order to enhance the role of migration at a territorial level, in the Year of Italian Roots in the World.

Thanks to the contribution of many historians and scholars, interspersed with musical moments and video-narratives related to the theme, the migrations not only of Romagnano Sesia, but also of Ghemme, Boca, Maggiora, Gattinara and Prato Sesia will be explored.

These lands are renowned all over the world for their excellent wine production and thanks to the research carried out, strong ties have been rediscovered even with America.

All that remains is to mark the appointment in your diary!
