About the museum
The museum, housed in Palazzo Mannacio in Francavilla Angitola, tells the story of emigration through a visual and chronological route. The visit begins with rural life, marked by the sound of the church bells and the agricultural calendar, and then moves on to the documents needed to emigrate and to the images of the patron saints that emigrants carried with them as a sign of faith.
The conclusion is devoted to the photographs sent to relatives left behind in the village, which show “la Merica”, that is, America.
