Roots and horizons: dialogues on repopulation – first meeting
The first meeting of the series Roots and Horizons: Dialogues on New Population Focuses on the theme of new internal migration trends, particularly among the younger generations in Italy. The documentary Fare Paese (Making a Country), produced by the Frange Mobili and La Bandita collectives in the southern Apennines during the summer of 2023, traces the possible life trajectories, sometimes counter-trend, of young people from six villages in Calabria, Basilicata, and Puglia. Many choose to stay or return to their territories of origin, intersecting metro-philia with new models of life, community, and forms of care to build a country.
Laura Saja, Antonio De Rossi, Mauro Fontana, and Loris Servillo discuss this with the authors.
