Chambersburg: What’s Left of the Italians’ ’Burg

Once, the store signs were written in Italian and people knew each other by first and last names. Then, Italians began to relocate, following the “American Dream,” and now the demographics have changed and Chambersburg has become home to Latinos, not without racial tension.

A Migrant’s Search for Home and Family

Our search for greener pastures has led us all to Italy -- some of us more privileged than others. Through writing and teaching I hope to do the most human thing possible: to restore the dignity so often lost when one is a migrant by simply welcoming them home, regardless of where they come from.

Last 28th and 29th June there was an important political meeting of the European Council, focusing on migration. The Council was held in a very polarized and bewildering scenario. Despite many observers fully expecting it to fail, it was able to reach an agreement, but a real, shared solution is still faraway

Baryali, from Afghanistan to Rome: “There’s Nowhere Else I’d Rather Live”

In Baryali’s eyes, you can see the reflection of the Himalayan highlands, and the boundless grassland plains of his country. But what he remembers of his Kabul is the sound of the bombs and the destruction. Today, he is a cultural-linguistic mediator; he speaks with a bit of a Roman inflection, he studies at John Cabot University in Rome, and dreams of one day working at the UN. For all his friends who didn’t make it.

Citizenship. Privilege, Subjective Right, or Way of Co-existing?

Integration is characterized by a process of sharing objectives, rights, duties, and above all, the ability to make decisions in discussions of the society that integrates itself. The Roman emperors were cheered and praised because other people searched for the “Roman happiness.” Couldn’t the same happen to the United States’ leaders if they were to let themselves be guided by the American Dream that they represent?

I’m an Immigrant, but I Agree with President Trump

Held prisoner in Germany during the war, my father left his family in Sicily in the 50s, and came to work to the United States as an illegal immigrant. He managed to stay in New York for a few years, then he was deported. In the end, after a great deal of sacrifice, he ligally migrated to America with his whole family. Trump is right, and I tell you why.

Memories of a Beloved Centenarian

My father lived to be nearly 101 years old. Though he was never able to visit our house in Italy, when I think back on his life, I see many similarities between my father's values and character, and the way of life we have come to love in Italy.
