The Museo del Cognome unveils its new logo
Un paese ci vuole, non fosse che per il gusto di andarsene via. Un paese vuol dire non essere soli, sapere che nella gente, nelle piante, nella terra c’è qualcosa di tuo, che anche quando non ci sei resta ad aspettarti…
La luna e i falò by Cesare Pavese
The quote taken from Cesare Pavese’s book, La luna e i falò, represents perfectly what we want to tell with the new logo specifically designed for the Museo del Cognome. The main character is an orphan who comes back to his Italian native country in search of his origins and identity after a long time passed in the USA. This is just what the museum does every day, it opens the doors to those people who want to meet their Italian roots.
