Una triestina in Australia


The AMMER site
AMMER (Archivio Multimediale della Memoria dell’Emigrazione Regionale) Multimedial Archive Memoirs of Regional Emigration, is a digital archive which collects photographs, documents and interviews recorded by the protagonists of emigration from Friuli Venezia Giulia. AMMER was opened with the first 100 interviews and 5.000 photographs, collected in Argentina and Uruguay. Over the course of the years the research has been gradually extended to all those countries where migratory flows from the region went. The following stages involved Canada, Australia, United States of America, Venezuela and, in Europe, France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. The research continues in Brazil, South Africa, Norhern and Eastern Europe. AMMER has been designed so that people can take part in it. The emigrants, their families and their descendants are directly involved as witnesses and have supplied the documentation; at the same time they can use the information first hand, together with scholars and all interested parties.

History of Emigration from the Region
Gian Carlo Bertuzzi

Is emigration a destiny, a sentence for those born somewhere where there is only poverty? Is emigration a choice for the brave who want to ‘find their fortune’ and improve their lifestyle and the lifestyle of their families? Is it perhaps part of an economic and social system which produces it, but which it then contributes to sustaining? Can emigration be a source of well being for those who go away and those who remain? Or is it only a source of social, cultural, economic and demographic degradation for the places the emigrants leave? Or is it a mix of all these together?
Let us try and look at the case of Friuli Venezia Giulia from a historical point of view.
