Watch Dr. Matteo Brera’s presentation at “EMIGRAZIONE: Dalla Liguria al mondo” (EMIGRATION: From Liguria to the World) jointly organized by Italea Liguria and Casa America.
In his talk, “I have fought Many Fights with Fire”: ‘Chief Rozetta’ (Antonio Rosetti), a firefighter-hero in Nashville, Tennessee,” Dr. Brera will recount the extraordinary story of a Ligurian emigrant who stood out overseas for his courageous work as a firefighter and show how an immigrant’s story can facilitate not only cultural but also economic and institutional connections by harnessing the potential of digital humanities and public history.
