Visinada, a gem set in the heart of Istria
In this hot August, for those who are in Istria, it is advisable to take the good, old and little-traveled Via Flavia and perhaps stop in Visinada, located right at the intersection of the Roman imperial road with the one that leads from Poreč to Pinguente. From there you can admire a splendid panorama of the entire Quieto valley and enjoy the invigorating natural ventilation. In that valley there is still a good presence of the native Italian-speaking population and the inhabited centers, of ancient foundation, are extraordinarily beautiful, rich in artistic excellence and not ruined by mass tourism. For example, Visinada boasts the beautiful church dedicated to the saints...

Some thoughts on “Zeno beats apartheid”
I would like to make some reflections on what Mauro Covacich wrote in la Lettura on June 7th in his interesting article “Zeno beats apartheid. The language of Italo Svevo against nationalism”. I live in Rome, but I am the daughter of exiles from Rovigno d'Istria and a national councilor of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, the oldest and most important of the associations of exiles who abandoned the lands of the eastern Adriatic after the Second World War, lands with a very complex history. In 1382, Trieste was surrendered to Austria, which granted it the Free Port in 1719. The city had a notable economic development with an increase...
