ABOUT US
ItBarcelona
The ItBarcelona.it site is a partner of the Italiani.it network, a network that revolves around the concept of “Italianness” and the related one of “sponsorship of Italy”.
ItBarcelona is an exciting challenge for us and not just a container of news. Rather we want to convey ideas on what it means to "be Italian", to bring out an idea of a variegated, multiple, non-pre-established "Italian identity" that cannot be reduced to the classic stereotypes (both negative and positive) of being Italian.
In this sense ItBarcelona presents itself as a mosaic of stories, news, impressions that recall the warmth of a common belonging, of the sharing of experiences, perceptions, traditions, but also openness to the world, fluidity, permeability to contributions of other cultures, contributions that allow fertile and unprecedented transformations and integrations.
We will collect and tell stories of compatriots who have decided to live in Barcelona, we aim to be also a narrative and analytical guide for those who have only curiosity for the city of Gaudì, would like to visit it or intend to move.
Those who go to live outside Italy may have many and various motivations, but they bring with them a treasure of knowledge, words, places, native flavors, experienced "at home" and layered in memory, habits, lifestyle and if it makes him, more or less consciously, an "ambassador" in the country of arrival.
The idea is to weave a common story (and a collective identity) made up of individual stories, to create "communities" through possible reflections, but also to deny easy generalizations that derive from stereotyped images. Added to this is the opportunity to share problems and solutions, information, initiatives, networking through the network.
Behind the project, a work team made up of Italians who have found between boulevards e pasatges your new home.
