Overseas. From Fascist Italy to the African Chimera
In Fascist Italy in the thirties, many inhabitants of Borgo emigrated to the colonies of the Italian Empire in Africa.
Pushed by poverty or the spirit of adventure, they went in search of what the Eldorado propaganda had promised them.
But their dream crumbles after just a few years of hard labor. War and the fall of the regime led to the loss of the colonies, forcing them to return to Borgo having lost everything.
