A new Museum in Rijeka
A new Museum in Fiume-Rijeka, in step with the European integration process, is inaugurated today, November 14, 2020. The Society of Fiumani Studies, after the international conference on the centenary of the Free State of Fiume in which it took part via teleconference last Thursday, recalls that 2020 marks the thirtieth anniversary of a unique cultural collaboration and dialogue, aimed at strengthening the historical and cultural collaboration with the land of origin. The Society of Fiumani Studies was founded in Fiume in 1923. In 1960, after the exodus, it was reconstituted in Rome. In 1963, it established the Historical Archive Museum of Fiume (recognized by law 92/2004 establishing...
Fiume, the lost city
Courtesy of the author, Bruno Tardivelli, we publish the preface of his memoir "Fiume, la città smarrita". I purposely wanted to include on the cover the image of today's Rijeka (once Fiume) to affirm that this photo no longer portrays My City. Time passes, generations too, each one leaves a trace, but if the great majority of the population flees or is expelled even brutally as happened in the post-war period, it is impossible that the buildings alone can retain the same identity. In a short time, a small, evolved Italian city of about 50 thousand inhabitants, since the end of the war in May 1945 has been...
“Remembering together, exiles and those who remain, our deceased”
The President of the Association of Italian Fiumani in the World - Free Municipality of Fiume in Exile Franco Papetti on the occasion of the Day of the Deceased declared: “We would have liked to remember together, exiles and those who remained, our deceased, as every year in the Crypt of Cosala in Fiume, but the pandemic has decided for us. This makes our thought even stronger in the desire to remember and pay homage to those who have drawn our footsteps”. Papetti, currently also vice-president of the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles, added: “Our thoughts are with all of you, Fiumani in the world, in these days of remembrance and reflection...

Fiume exiles in Basovizza
I followed with interest the ceremonies on the Carso that preceded the meeting in Trieste at the Prefecture and at the Narodni Dom returned to the Slovenian Community in the name of a pacification that proceeds through symbolic gestures, sharing, support. As people of Fiume, we fully understand the need to untie the knots of history and build new opportunities. While the images of the two presidents, Sergio Mattarella of Italy and Borut Pahor of Slovenia, scrolled by, holding hands at the Foiba di Basovizza and then in front of the memorial stone of the executed, there are many thoughts that I would have liked to express in a hypothetical assembly of all of us exiles and Italians who remained: starting from the...
