HISTORY
The Italian immigration to Scot-
land, started at the end of the
XIX century, is a successful but
peculiar story of integration.
The “Italian Scots”, a communi-
ty of 100,000 out of a popula-
tion of 5 million, did not make
it in the adoptive country at no
price. Hard work, the struggle
against discrimination and ste-
reotypes, as well as the effort to
assimilate without losing their
original identity, are all things
that Italian immigrants largely
experienced. Through inter-
views with second and third
generation immigrants, among
those being famous screen-wri-
ter Ann Marie Di Mambro and
film actor Gianni Capaldi, and
rare historical and private archi-
ves, “Heritage” tells the story of
a positive “clash” between two
peoples.
