| Take a survey and help a research project by the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan |
| |
| The research project focuses on the Italian communities in North America with the goal of building a shared community biography centered on the Italians and Italian descendants who have contributed and continue to contribute in various areas to the civic life of the communities where they have lived or still live. The research also aims to investigate the relationship that Italian North Americans maintain (or don't maintain) with their land of origin, and the "Italian-ness" present in them.
