	Migration Literature in Italy: African Diasporas and Postcolonial Traces [Temporarily Closed] Traditionally a country from which millions of people migrated, Italy has only recently become a land of immigration. This exhibition presents these narratives of immigrants’ experiences and life stories in the context of an emerging history of contemporary Italophone culture. By combining literary texts and images, it returns the voice to Africa that has been forgotten by Italians, reconstructing an often omitted past.
