History of Italians in Kenya, episode 8 now online

The experiences of our compatriots in the post-war period

28-10-2025 by redazione

The story of Italians in Kenya continues, told by Freddie del Curatolo in a podcast that is enjoying success beyond even the most optimistic expectations. Many people, and not only fellow Italians living in the country, are interested in the stories of those who have in some way shaped the history of our presence in this country, but above all in the many characters and events that have been buried by the dust of Africa or by the even more inclement dust of time. After years of research, Freddie del Curatolo is bringing them back to light and linking them to the better-known stories and the history of the African country in which he lives and from which he narrates, with the help of an original soundtrack and many new insights.

This Tuesday, the eighth episode will be broadcast on the Spotify channel of Italians in Kenya and on YouTube. After recounting the exploits of Italian prisoners of the Second World War, deported from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia, we move on to the post-war period, among those who stayed, those who were already in this country and resumed normal life, those who returned from captivity in South Africa and those who chose to migrate to escape the misery of Italy in the early 1950s. With the story of a community of Italian workers in the middle of Tsavo that few people know about...and other roads leading to Kenya's independence.
