After listening to the testimonies of the Pinzon family and hearing about their lives and acculturation process in Italy, we realized that even though the acculturation process was at some point interrupted by the pandemic, because their interactions with the language and culture were affected, they were still able (with some delay) to continue with their acculturation process, while they are gradually interacting more frequently, thanks to the measures taken by the Italian government on health and covid-19.

Acculturation processes during Covid-19 times: a case of study of Colombian immigrants in Alatri, Italy.

During this chaotic times, according to the news portal France 24, migration in Italy has increased in a 150 percent. This particular report has caught our attention, making us wonder how acculturation processes are being carried out during the current pandemic situation. Specifically, we have decided  to track the experiences of an immigrant colombian family: the Pinzon's, who currently live in Alatri, a rural area of the province of Frosinone, Italy, two hours away from Rome (by car). Following this idea, addresing this specific group of individuals facilitates the task of getting insights of the acculturation processes that can take place during Covid-19 time, beacuse the three expected participants share a similar cultural background, age range, but have different genders.
Stated all the above, developing this project, increases the chances of gathering first hand information on how each one of these individuals faces and lives the acculturation phenomenon.

We collected three testimonies about the acculturation processes during pandemic times in Italy. We put it here in the original language in which they were given to us, however, in the final video, we adapted them to English.

The following writings correspond to the participants' answers to the question: How have the acculturation processes been for you three in the working, economic, and recreational field there in Italy, and how have these processes been affected by Covid-19?

"AQUILES" PINZÓN: Acculturation processes during pandemic times in the working field.
"Al principio, cuando llegamos aquí, nos hicieron esperar para entrar a trabajar ya que, según las personas de aquí, no teníamos “experiencia” en el trabajo, aún cuando era en lo que nos desempeñábamos allá en Colombia. Además, también nos dilataron las cosas porque no sabíamos italiano. Cuando ya por fin habíamos aprendido al menos el lenguaje necesario para el trabajo, el covid 19 llegó y no pudimos entrar a practicar al trabajo. Hasta ahora estamos entrando a trabajar, y no hemos podido acoplarnos bien a nuestras funciones laborales y algunas costumbres que los italianos tienen en su lugar de trabajo, por lo que la gente a veces nos mira como menos."

"LIGIA" PINZÓN: Acculturation processes during pandemic times in the economic field.
"Fue una experiencia muy bonita, la gente habla otro idioma pero tienen las mismas características, solo varia por una letra o dos.

Poco a poco nos fuimos “amparando” y fuimos aprendiendo idioma y costumbres. En el mercado, uno se da cuenta de que son las mismas cosas que uno encuentra en Colombia. Por ejemplo, aquí también hay almacenes de Alkosto, como allá. Pero con la diferencia de que aquí no le decimos mercado, sino “ropa”, “Vamos a prender una ropa”. Por la pandemia, como no habíamos podido salir mucho ni a hacer mercado, cuando finalmente pudimos salir, mi hermana me dijo “Coja el carrelo” y “eche el rizzo”. Como yo nunca había ido a mercar con ella en Italia, no sabía a qué se referia, por lo que le respondí “¿Qué?”. La gente se queda “guardándonos” (mirándonos) raro."

"EDUARDO" PINZÓN: Acculturation processes during pandemic times in the recreational field.
"El ambiente de recreación es muy tranquilo, uno puede salir a trotar o a una “pasillata”, y podemos ir a diferentes lugares como Nápoles, a ver “luces”- - porque aquí no se le dice "alumbrado" como en navidad, sino "luces"-, o a islas a dar un “giro” en barco. Las pocas veces que hemos ido a Venecia por causa de la pandemia, cuando tomamos paseos en gondola, la gente nos “guarda” raro porque se nota que nosotros no somos de aquí por la manera en que nos comportamos dentro del barco, además por nuestro acento. Ahora que tenemos la oportunidad de salir un poco más, estamos adquiriendo y casi copiando como la gente de acá se comporta en lugares de recreación públicos."
