The article proposes a hypothesis of reading of the international worker’s movement nets, reconstructed through the survey of the experience of emigration from Friuli, a territory that in the years between XIX and XX century has reached the peak among the migratory rates of Italian regions. Migratory experience has marked the story of the working class of Friuli, both in point of the acquisition of professional ability, and in regard of the construction of a political identity, thanks to the worker’s movements of the countries of emigration. At the same time, Friuli has given a lot of his trade-union representatives to the international movement. Therefore, the history of the working class breaks, through the migratory experience, the schematism of national worker’s movements historiography.
