We are all truly delighted to learn from Voce del Popolo, the newspaper of the Italian national community in Croatia and Slovenia, that our Rijeka dialect has finally been registered in the register of intangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia. This is a long-awaited decision, as repeatedly advocated by Professor Melita Sciucca, past president of the Italian Community of Rijeka, who followed the process requested by the Ministry, later passing the baton to Enea Dessardo, currently at the helm of the association. The Ministry of Culture and Media itself sent an official statement to the proponents: the Italian Community and the Council of...

The presentation of "Fiume, città nuvola. Polvere dei nostri pensieri," published by the Association of Italians from Fiume in the World, took place at the headquarters of the National League in Trieste.

The meeting was opened by National League President Paolo Sardos Albertini, who commented on the book's evocative title and reiterated the value of a memory we must not give up...

A day long-awaited for nearly eighty years, the day that brought back to Rijeka the memory of Archbishop Ugo Camozzo, the last Italian bishop of Rijeka, and of the 26 "pretich," priests and seminarians who followed him into exile from the capital of the Carnaro region to Pisa, where he was appointed archbishop in 1948. A conference, an exhibition, and a concert by the Choir of the Cathedral of Pisa, organized by the Association of Rijeka Italians in the World in collaboration with the Italian Community of Rijeka and the Diocese of Rijeka, commemorated with dignity and serenity one of the lesser-known chapters of the Exodus. The events were also attended by the illustrious theologian...

Second ten days of April, the sun blazing, a group of Fiume people on the streets of Pisa determined to meet an important witness of their history.

To meet Don Severino Dianich, the famous theologian, after a necessary introduction. Having left Fiume in 1947, Monsignor Ugo Camozzo, the last Italian bishop of Fiume, became...
