At the time of the Cafés in Istria and Fiume
To reconstruct events and personalities that determined the cultural climate and the social environment of some centers of Istria and Fiume between the end of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century (in the wake of Trieste, the Central European area and even before Venice) it is essential to "pass" by the Cafés, which defined a lifestyle and their specific cultural facies. The cafés in particular, but also theaters, cinemas, sports, artistic and literary clubs in which ferments and connections between different ethnic groups and experiences reached maturity and which, in the historical context in which these cultural realities were set, also constituted hotbeds of...
“Dante Adriaticus” to rediscover the Adriatic Italianness
In an era when it was still premature to speak of State and Nation, Dante had very clear ideas about what the territorial and cultural borders of Italy were. An Italy conceived as a region in which the same language was spoken, observed in the variety of its dialects in De vulgari eloquentia, where Istrian is also mentioned. An Italy conceived in the Divine Comedy “as in Pola near Carnaro, which closes Italy and bathes its borders”, with reference to the Roman necropolis of Pola, which the illustrious poet almost certainly had the opportunity to see during a stay in Istria. In the period of the Risorgimento, in which the Italian language represented a...
Justificationism against Norma Cossetto
Schürzel (Anvgd), "stunned by statements on Cossetto by Pomezia councilors" "Disconcerting news. In Pomezia, several M5s and Pd councilors have rejected the proposal to name the garden on Via Farina after Norma Cossetto. But the serious thing is that, beyond the fact that another location could have been found if that one is considered unsuitable, the statements of some councilors were decidedly out of place, demonstrating actual historical ignorance of the facts. Some have made a distinction between martyrs and the dead, who thus automatically become series A and series B, adducing, in fact, an ideological motivation for this decision". He told Adnkronos...

Inaccuracies and political attacks in “And then the foibe?”
From the provocative title “And then the foibe?” Eric Gobetti’s new pamphlet has caused a stir in the world of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles. The short read, full of historical and political inaccuracies, although the publisher is the authoritative Laterza, turns out to be a new justificationist position, seasoned with a fatalism that hurts those who have lived those events or have memories of them in their family. Once again, as in the worst historiography aimed at reducing the foibe to a reaction to fascist harassment, the narrative begins with the burning of the Balkans, without any reference to the tensions between Italians and Slavs fomented by the Empire...
