This week on The Italian Radio Hour - 'Italy is Out" is the fruit of the collaboration between Mario Badagliacca, established documentary photographer, and Derek Duncan, Professor of Italian at the University of St. Andrews and whose objective was to explore the implications Italian migration in a global perspective tracing cultural transformations across borders, generations, and languages.Badagliacca visited the project's key locations conducting interviews with Italians or people of Italian descent before photographing them in familiar locations. The subjects of the portraits were invited to bring along three objects representing their attachment to Italy. The sheer variety of the objects which appear alongside the portraits suggests the diversity of the migrant experience.Joined in the conversation by Edi Giunta, Professor of English at New Jersey City University, whose story, essay, and objects appear in the book, she shares the story of her family, and her journey between the different stages of being an Italian living overseas, and what her chosen objects represent to her.. Fiction, autobiography, and academic reflection sit side by side adding to Badagliacca's multifaceted exploration of Italian abroad. https://www.mariobadagliacca.com/italy_is_out-s3362
