Between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of travelling traders engaged in highly successful business activities selling prints came from a small community in Tesino, in the province of Trento. Of all the cities where people from Tesino settled, St Petersburg perhaps best represents the far-away destinations of the emigrants. We explore the dreams of a community that travelled the world in search of fortune and that today tries to keep alive the memory of its past.
