Trentini Americani is a memory project that features the immigration experience of Trentini in the United States.
A collection of interviews started in 2009 and ended in 2018. The project was produced by the Historical Museum of Trentino, which allowed the collection of over 160 interviews: an extremely valuable memory bank. |
Since 2018, with great difficulty, we have been searching for funds in order to be able to make an official film out of these incredible records.
The project is proceeding very slowly. It has been suspended several times. There are no more funds available from the Museum, and there are no regional or state funds accessible at the moment. The situation worsened because of the Coronavirus, which hit Italy particularly hard. Direct help from the Trentino community would be the only solution to complete the film. The first crowdfunding started last July, and thanks to the generosity of a small part of the community, we were able to reach the first goal and carry on with the project. However, the project is on a hiatus again. Our objective is to complete the film by the end of this year. Therefore, we call on you, Trentini Americani: please help us finish our project. This film is about your history, your memory, and your families. |
