It ended La Bancarella. Eastern Adriatic Book Fair Organized by the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia and the Multimedia Documentation Center of Julian, Istrian, Rijeka, and Dalmatian Culture, in collaboration with FederEsuli, as part of the 38th edition of the Turin International Book Fair. The fifth and final day of the event opened with the presentation of the new book by Mauro Tonino, a writer and essayist who is a member of the executive committee of the ANVGD Udine: The 40 Days of Terror. The Slavic-Communist Occupation of Gorizia and a Lapidary to Erase History's Omissions, published by Signs Publishing.

The passionate scholar of the histories and events of Italy's eastern border has well-contextualized the research of Luca Urizio, president of the Gorizia branch of the National League, integrating it with his own additional archival research: "During the final phase of the Second World War, desperate Italian attempts were recorded, even with unlikely collaborations between the secret services of the Kingdom of the South and men of Junio ​​Valerio Borghese's Tenth Division, to counter Yugoslav expansionism," Tonino explained after being introduced by Bruna Zuccolin, President of the ANVGD Udine, and Lorenzo Salimbeni, communications manager for the ANVGD. "The only successful move was made by Alvise Savorgnan di Brazzà, chief of staff of the Osoppo Brigade, decimated by Gappisti at Porzus, who managed to spur the Allied advance towards Venezia Giulia. Nonetheless, there were forty terrible days of occupation, during which hundreds of Gorizians disappeared, including the leader of the Isonzo CLN, Augusto Sverzutti, who was called to a meeting at the city headquarters of the OZNA and never returned home. The above research led to an addition to the names reported in the Gorizia lapidary of those deported by Tito's regime who never returned, an initiative undertaken with the full support of Gorizia's Mayor Rodolfo Ziberna, who spoke forcefully, recalling his commitment against the obstructionism attempted by the ANPI.

In the afternoon, Kristjan Knez, director of the Carlo Combi Italian Center in Koper, took the audience back in time to the 17th century, when, under the rule of the Venetian Republic, the College of Nobles was founded in Koper, the Athens of Istria. It would soon become the hotbed of the ruling class of Italian language and culture. Spanning the centuries and various dominations, the building today represents the center of Italian-language education in the Istrian-Venetian city, which has also benefited from a thorough renovation thanks to funding from the Slovenian state: "The inauguration of the renovated building took place on September 11th in the presence of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and his Slovenian counterpart, Nataša Pirc Musar. For the occasion, we accelerated the completion of an old project by publishing From the Seminary to the "Gian Rinaldo Carli" Gymnasium, Centuries of Education in Koper» explained Knez, curator of the work together with Roberta Vincoletto, President of the CAN of Capodistria.

In conversation with Salimbeni, Knez then highlighted that Slovenian authors from Koper also contributed to the volume: "This prestigious institution, whose desks have included Pio Riego Gambini and Nazario Sauro, Gian Rinaldo Carli and Pietro Kandler, Antonio Santin and Edoardo Marzari, Nino Benvenuti and Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambini, among others, is increasingly perceived as a cultural heritage of the entire city, and there is no shortage of Slovenian students who enroll to perfect their mastery of the Italian language."
