Dear AIPI/LCPE Members,
Dear readers of L'ARENA DI POLA,

Thought up on the fly and written from the heart, I find that the title of the first page of this issue of L'Arena di Pola could not have been anything else : UNDER THE SKY OF POLA.

It comes after the traditional June meeting in Pula, experienced so intensely both by those who were there and by those who weren't, as well as by those who would have liked to be there.

It's an issue that I'd dare to call special, with dedicated pages and many photos, documenting salient—and I dare say memorable—moments.

Led by the brilliant creativity of our President Lucia Bellaspiga, the 2026 Cultural Meeting of Exiles from Pula has successfully reached its 69th milestone.

They are pages to browse, where you can find images to look at and memories to share.

As always, this issue also features plenty of news, information, and history. We've summarized them, but we'll certainly cover them again in the next issue.

Let's read and talk... and see you next time!

Your director,
Viviana Facchinetti
