Passion for genealogy comes from our need to disclose the mystery of our own origins facing one of men and women's most common existential questions of all time.

 

We often think that traces of our own past have been irreparably lost; actually it's possible to find a lot of clues following the thread that links us to history, going into the archives where documents, which preserve the bonds with our forefathers, are stored.

 

Seeking our own origins doesn't only allow us to restore our forefathers' names and dates but also represents a going back in time through the meanders of the family and community memory that time has tried to delete, whereas official history seems to give space only to important personalities and to the events they were protagonists of.

 

Some time ago, men and women could live their times thanks to the knowledge of the past; nowadays we look at ourselves and at our contingent choices in order to pursue our own identity. We should, instead, think about the past and imagine the people who preceded us and passed each other, In some way, the "baton" in the big  relay of life. It's a feeling that crack our own uniqueness sense. We should think of our forefathers not only as part of our genetic heritage we have inside us because they conditioned, in some way, with their choices and their way of living, our life.
