The historian and researcher Generoso D’Agnese has graciously allowed us to feature some of his materials on our website. These resources serve as a valuable foundation for observing, reading, and interpreting the work and dedication of Italians around the world throughout different historical periods.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to him and hope that this generous contribution will further promote the Italian language and culture.
The testimonies reconstructed by Generoso D’Agnese preserve a historical memory that, over time, risks fading but remains a cornerstone of the achievements, dedication, and cultural, social, and economic successes of Italians today.
We also offer these materials as a resource for educators—an invaluable heritage that may, if relevant and inspiring, be shared with students as a testament to the determination and unwavering resilience that enabled a new “Renaissance” in a different century. A Renaissance rooted in the lives and contributions of Italians worldwide, in the language and culture that we continue to support through our work and commitment to education.
