MEI - National Museum of Italian Emigration (GENOVA)

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Genoa is a city with a strong link to emigration: it was from here that millions of Italians left for the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. It also houses The MEI - National Museum of Italian Emigration, housed in the Commenda di San Giovanni di Prè, which lies onto 3 floors divided into 16 areas where it is possible to retrace many stories of Italian migration, from the Unification of Italy (and even before) to the present. The life stories of migrants are told through first-hand sources such as diaries, letters, photographs, newspapers and archival documents. It is an empathetic and interactive museum, where you can "do experience" . See, hear, learn and get involved in the scenic setting of one of the city's oldest medieval buildings, which originally provided hospitality to pilgrims. In conversation with us, Paolo Masini, President of the MEI Foundation, and and actor, producer, and testimonial for the MEI, Luca Vullo that will tell us more not only about the exhibit but a great opportunity to get on the Amerigo Vespucci, approaching Los Angeles in July and learn more about the immigration stories of that area. The museum is in close relationship with Mu.MA - Maritime and Migrations Museum and, in particular, with the nearby Galata Maritime Museum, which houses the section on transoceanic voyages "Memoria e Migrazioni" (Memory and Migrations) and the section on immigration, "Italiano anch'io".
