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 the Eldorado that propaganda had promised them. But their dreams crumbled after just a few years of hard labor. War and the fall of the regime lead to the loss of the colonies, forcing them to return to Borgo having lost everything.
Words, written memoirs and hundreds of photos witnesses and reveal a tale long shrouded in silence.
