The history of the Adriatic border is marked by deep fractures, collective tragedies, and torn identities. But today, it is a history that demands to be reinterpreted as a space for dialogue, responsibility, and a shared future. The collective work Identity beyond borders. Generations meet for a new Adriatic frontier. Promoted by the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, it stems from a fundamental question: how can we transform a painful memory into a resource for new generations and for the Europe of the future? Through authoritative contributions and voices diverse in experience, education, and background, the book interweaves historical reconstruction, testimony, and civic reflection. The tragedies of the twentieth century—wars, foibe, exoduses, opposing nationalisms and ideologies—are juxtaposed with another perspective, one that looks to reconciliation, education, and the construction of a European identity capable of transcending borders. Following the symbolic gesture made by Presidents Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor and the shared experience of Nova Gorica and Gorizia as European Capitals of Culture 2025, these pages serve as a bridge between past and future. An invitation to recognize memory not as a point of division, but as the indispensable foundation for imagining a shared tomorrow. https://baldinicastoldi.it/libri/identita-oltre-i-confini/
