As per Christmas tradition, for the 10th consecutive year, and in collaboration with my partner Mattia Bertoldi, we have produced a series of 3 mini-documentaries, “Get Together for Christmas," dedicated to emigration from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland for RSI - Swiss-Italian Television. The three documentaries, each 17 minutes long, were aired by "Il Quotidiano" a daily program on RSI, on the 23, 24 and 25 of December 2024.

This edition takes place in Asia, Singapore and Thailand, following the model proposed by the trio composed of Dario Bertoni, Sergio Locatelli and Enzo Regusci between the 1960s and 1970s. The cameras captured the stories of eight people who chose to live in the southern hemisphere: from Singapore with Daniel Duric and Céline Coderey - to Phuket with Isabella Naef - to Hua Hin with Tiziano Gianocca and Aldo Berta and then Bangkok with Jessica Manighetti and Arianna and Matteo Fabbri.

For those interested in watching the Italian version of the three episodes aired on Swiss TV on December 23, 24 and 25 - 2024, below are the links.
