Remembrance Day is not a contrast to the Shoah
Regarding the statements of the Rector of the University for Foreigners of Siena, Prof. Tomaso Montanari, it is sad to note that the history of the eastern border is always interpreted in the context of fascism and the political attack on the right, forgetting centuries of Italian presence, history, culture and tradition on the coasts of the eastern Adriatic, as well as the adhesion to the Risorgimento of native ruling classes and volunteers. Even the history of art, a discipline that Montanari teaches, shows that the coasts of the eastern Adriatic have maintained a deep cultural and identity bond with the Italian peninsula over the centuries, in terms of commissions and artists who...

It is necessary to distinguish the ideological and political reading that has...

30 years of the Italian Union
In 1991, the beginning of the implosion of Yugoslavia led to the independence of Slovenia first and, more bloodily, of Croatia. These geopolitical upheavals also had repercussions on the indigenous Italian community present in Istria, Carnaro and Dalmatia, which until that moment had been included by the communist regime in the Union of Italians of Fiume and Istria: the lack of reference to the Italian presence in Dalmatia had been a kind concession to Croatian nationalism which had embraced the expansionist project that was part of the political program of Marshal Josip Broz "Tito". At the end of the Yugoslav wars of the XNUMXs...
