In 2022 Cristiano Barducci, the podcast’s author, discovers that thousands of records survive in America with recordings of a popular programme for Italian Americans, sponsored by a canned-tomato company, that aired in New York in the 1950s: “La grande famiglia”.

So begins a search that ties together personal and collective memories, starting from an extraordinary sound archive.
