Abdon Pamich, Olympian and exile from Fiume, protagonist of the fiction "The Marcher"

In recent years, RAI has drawn on these stories, whose protagonists often left written traces of their experiences through poignant autobiographical testimonies or through fictionalized forms. In 2024, it was broadcast in conjunction with the Day...

Mursia publishes "Fiume, addio!" by Marino Micich
