due migrazioni
A work focusing on two different migrations: the peasants from north-eastern Italy who drained the Pontine Marshes in the 1930s and the Sardinian shepherds who started settling in Maremma during the 1950s.
New waves of arrivals often occurred after intervals of many years, forming a pattern characterized by the singular repetition and renewal of roles. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall many Eastern Europeans arrived to work the land and tend the flocks, and they have been joined more recently by Indians in the Pontine Marshes and the seasonal migration of New Zealand shepherds in Maremma.
