On June 14, 2024, the authors of the book Their Faraway Home, Ivana Hebrang Grgić and Ana Barbarić, were in Rome at the invitation of H. E. Jackie Frizelle, New Zealand Ambassador to Italy. The embassy is also responsible for the territory of Croatia, and the ambassador has shown an exceptional interest in researching Croatian publications in New Zealand. Further cooperation on future research and promotion of the project has been agreed upon.
The project and the book were also presented in the Pontifical Croatian Institute of St. Jeronim (Pontificio Collegio Croato di San Girolamo) and cooperation regarding the research of publications of Croats abroad with regard to the fund of their library and archives was discussed. Research was carried out in several other libraries in Rome.
