The petition of the Rocchi family, circulated with a request for signature, which questions the legitimacy of the Association to sell the headquarters in Rome, a gift from Father Rocchi, has caused confusion in recent days. An action that has given rise to an often angry and strong-toned debate. The President of the ANVGD, Antonio Ballarin, intervenes here and addresses an explanation. ..................... The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia does not sell and does not intend to sell any of its assets and, in general, its assets, acquired with difficulty and tenacity over the years and which constitute, in fact, the basic elements...

A moved audience, standing, welcomed Simone Cristicchi's show Magazzino 18 in Trieste. He turned our history inside out, making the most beautiful synthesis that has ever been written... and performed! A miracle... ......... Trieste. Politeama Rossetti. "Come vorrei essere un albero, che sa dove nasce e dove morirà" (How I would like to be a tree, that knows where it is born and where it will die) is the essence of an extraordinary show that tells the drama of an entire people, exiles and those who remained. With the words of Sergio Endrigo's song, the Roman singer-songwriter Simone Cristicchi seals a deep feeling, the pain of uprooting which is not only the abandonment of one's own land for other shores, it is the knowledge of...

Annoyed by what I read and thrilled by what I hear, here is my statement. Cowardice and mental laziness are the two eminent characteristics of the Italian intellectual bourgeoisie, always concerned with saving their seats and devoid of any drive for innovation that is not certified as "politically correct". This is why our country is culturally and politically bogged down in a past that suffocates it. Simone Cristicchi's show, presented these days at the "Rossetti", the Trieste theater that is the custodian of great innovative traditions, entitled "Magazzino 18", is having difficulty being received by the artistic directors of other theaters, still...

Without fear of contradiction, the controversial Magazzino 18 by Simone Cristicchi staged at the Rossetti represented, more than a show, a historic moment for Trieste. And for once, the story was "for many but not for all", judging by the 10 minutes of "generalist" applause, standing, which destroyed the sense of tricolors flaunted by contrast. To appreciate a particular common view of our events, it was evidently necessary for someone to come and tell us, with humanity, how we are seen from the outside. Moreover, with great courage, given what happened shortly before. They came to tell us, in short, that history never starts from a point...

Triumph of Magazzino 18 in Trieste La Bancarella closed with an invitation to the Theatre. Written with a capital T because with Magazzino 18 the magic of art permeated everything or everyone in a unique, unrepeatable interaction. The common thread that unites the two moments, the Salone del Libro with the show is the testimony that has distinguished the two moments, the desire to make known pages of history that still weigh on the reality of the territory. The universality of Cristicchi's message makes the show a vehicle of knowledge, the realization of a dream: it has been awaited for a long time that a true artist would fall in love with our history to take it beyond the ford, making it...

“Neverland. My Exodus from Istria” is a book written through the eyes of a child. The book by Nino Benvenuti, a champion and a myth, was presented at the Bancarella in Trieste in a packed Galleria Tergesteo, where the crowd bath that the Istrian boxer remembers on his return to Trieste after 1960 was renewed. “I was standing on the back seat of a convertible, with two people holding my legs so I wouldn’t fall. We were in Via Carducci, the car was passing slowly through a crowd that went from wall to wall of the street, the best ovation of my life”. Benvenuti is the representative of a territory mistreated by...

Protagonists Giuseppe Parlato and Enrico Serventi Longhi, moderator Giuseppe de Vergottini “D'Annunzio had Adriatic politics in his head and in his plans, at the time he carried out the Fiume enterprise” is the question that Giuseppe de Vergottini addresses in the midst of the debate on the issue on the agenda of the round table around the figure of the soldier poet, included in the context of the Bancarella di Trieste. Professor Giuseppe Parlato takes up the provocation by stating that for D'Annunzio it is exaggerated to pose the problem in this way. He was a poet, with a profound aesthetic sense. The Fiume enterprise is not only military action, it is also human feeling....

Also in the audience was his nephew and his wife Rosita. The body of Missoni's son has been found” is the sad news that arrives on the opening day of the Bancarella, dedicated this year to Ottavio Missoni: a special day that renews in memory the grave loss that struck his family. Present were his wife Rosita and one of his nephews, who remembers his grandfather's height, tall as Dalmatians often are. Two journalists, Arianna Boria and Paolo Scandaletti, intervene to remember the great exile from Zadar. The latter's book “Una vita sul filo di lana” is presented, a biography on and with Ottavio Missoni. Arianna Boria, a journalist for the Piccolo di Trieste...

The Roman singer-songwriter will open the Rossetti season on Tuesday 22 October with his “Magazzino 18” and concluded the inauguration with the song that will open the show, “a civil musical” as he defined it. The sight of the warehouse in which the poor household goods of the exiles were piled up, their few memories, photos, notebooks, letters that were saved from the destruction of time, struck him...

In Zadar, we start again with the young And at a certain point it happens, a 22-year-old dream becomes reality. “I had prepared a detailed report on the painful stages that led us to the final result” – said the president of the Italian Community of Zadar, Rina Villani, addressing the public number of authorities and activists who gathered last Saturday morning at the inauguration ceremony of the Italian nursery school Pinocchio set up inside a modern villa in the Spada district, in the new part of the city. But in the end it was the prospects that asserted themselves on the awareness of having a long struggle behind them. Which ones? Synthetic and concrete, reiterated...
