Very warm post. I felt identified, I am also a descendant of the Italian community here on the other side of the continent: Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although here, many associations lost influence and people stopped going, we still have many examples of institutions with values. A great example is the "Italian Hospitals". They were founded by Italian immigrants and financed by donations from those who managed to make a small fortune in the country. Today in these hospitals, the care is excellent and the staff is very warm. We are proud of these.

Thank you for your comment! I know that there is a huge community of Italians in Argentina, too, so it doesn’t surprise me that there would be/have been many associations and initiatives founded by the Italian community. There are a lot of Molisani there too, right?

Most of the immigrants came from Calabria, Campania, Liguria and Piedmont. But I know that there is a large Molisani community in the coastal city of Mar del Plata. I leave you the link to their Facebook page. Greetings
