As per Christmas tradition, for the 9th consecutive year, and in collaboration with my partner Mattia Bertoldi, we have produced a series of 3 mini-documentaries, “Get Together for Christmas," dedicated to emigration from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland for RSI - Swiss-Italian Television. The three documentaries, each 17 minutes long, were aired by "Il Quotidiano" a daily program on RSI, on the 20, 21 and 22 of December 2023.

This edition takes place in South America, Uruguay and Argentina, following the model proposed by the trio composed of Dario Bertoni, Sergio Locatelli and Enzo Regusci between the 1960s and 1970s. The cameras captured the stories of six people who chose to live in the southern hemisphere: from Montevideo with Diana Taccani - to Francesco Magistra in Mercedes - to Buenos Aires with Gian Paolo Minelli and Tea Alberti and then Cordoba with Andres Borella and Djamila Beretta Piccoli in Cabana/Cordoba.

For those interested in watching the Italian version of the three episodes aired on Swiss TV on December 20, 21 and 22 - 2023, below are the links.
