Lazio
Journey of the roots in Lazio

About us-Italea Lazio

Italea is a project dedicated both to those who already know their Italian origins and want to organize a trip to discover and rediscover the places, customs and culture of their ancestors, and to those who need to identify them, and who will be able to make use of a network of reliable genealogists.

Perché Italea? 

The name Italea derives from “talea”, a practice by which a plant is allowed to propagate. By cutting a part of it and replanting it, it can be given new life, making new roots grow: just as happens with migrations.

This program represents the gratitude of the “mother plant” to its flowering in the world.

We are a team of professionals, passionate about stories of emigration and our territory, who know how to welcome their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren step by step to the land of origin of your ancestors.

Our working group, made up of local historians, genealogists, tour guides, tourism experts, comes from the experience and passion of Italia Gens, an association that has been dealing with roots tourism since 2019.

Italia Gens was born from a simple dream aimed at restoring the memory of a faded past or completely unknown to the descendants of those who were forced to emigrate from our lands. A meticulous work to give voice to the past and recompose the puzzle of your existence, starting from the origins.

Italea Lazio It will take you on a journey that begins with the discovery of your ancestors through in-depth genealogical research. You will be able to touch the most important documents of the life of your ancestors: birth and marriage certificates, baptism or death certificates, even military service documents.

You will be welcomed and you will live everyday life in the country of origin of your ancestors, among tales and myths that surround it, to rediscover and touch the places that housed the homes and memories of your loved ones.

You will walk on the paving stones and alleys where your ancestors once played, you will smell the scents of typical traditional dishes, perhaps still handed down in the family. You’ll meet the relative you didn’t know you had or some old family friend to hear old anecdotes and memories.

Italea Lazio will make you live immersive experiences in local traditions, taste typical products, visit museums and historical sites, get to know the area, learn about local customs and traditions.

Unforgettable moments for you who visit the Lazio region in search of that link with Italy that your heart longs to know.

Memories of the past and present that will be jealously guarded in the Memory Box, a box that will be given to you as a souvenir of your trip to Italy: a small treasure chest to be handed down so as not to forget.

Italea Lazio offers you unique and unprecedented experiences to enter the true roots of Italian culture.
