Thanks to the databases of the International Center for the Study of Italian Emigration, it is possible to access detailed information about the departures of Italian migrants from major Italian ports, providing valuable insights to help trace one’s roots.

Among the tools available to rediscover the history of Italian migration, the International Center for the Study of Italian Emigration offers a valuable resource. Through its databases (www.ciseionline.it), you can obtain detailed information about millions of people who left Italy in search of new opportunities. By entering an individual’s details, you can discover their departure date, embarkation point, destination, and, in some cases, even the family members who traveled with them.

Additionally, historical accounts are available that describe the migration experiences of these individuals, adding an emotional and human element to these journeys. The information collected helps reconstruct the story of Italy’s great emigration, a significant chapter in the country’s history.
