As per Christmas tradition, for the 11th consecutive year, and in collaboration with my partner Mattia Bertoldi, we have produced a series of 4 mini-documentaries, “Get Together for Christmas," dedicated to emigration from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland for RSI - Swiss-Italian Television. The four documentaries were aired by "Il Quotidiano" a daily program on RSI, on the 23, 24, 25 and 26 of December 2025.

This edition takes place in Spain, 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 there: from Madrid with Lara Pazzi - to Otos with Lidia Sperandio - to the Canary Islands with Simone Schmid and Patrizia Dimitri in Gran Canaria and in Lanzarote with Irena Kron and Alberto Poggi, then Barcelona with Nicola Regusci and in Collbató with Frédéric Hurst.

For those interested in watching the Italian version of the three episodes aired on Swiss TV on December 23, 24, 25 and 26 - 2025, below are the links.
