The spirit of Fertilia and the “fertilience” for the history and identity of Adriatic Italianness
In Fertilia today we talked about history, emotions, “fertilience”, a new word that today has been written in memory. 28 years after the Zagreb protocol with which Italy and Croatia defined their commitment to the protection of minorities in their respective countries and four years after the historic “hand in hand” of Presidents Pahor and Mattarella in front of the Basovizza foiba, the representatives of the Italian Union and the most representative Associations of exiles from Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia discussed how to strengthen the common commitment to keep a light on memory. On this thread of memory and on the importance of the seed of unity and of...

Fertilia 1948, how a community is born
On the sidelines of a recent speech by the undersigned, in his capacity as an economic historian, which took place at the Anteo cinema in Milan, for the presentation of the splendid and touching documentary entitled “Fertilia istriana” by Cristina Mantis, written by Francesca Angeleri and Daniela Piu, I would like to highlight some important passages that gave life to this experience of a village “revitalized” by the presence of a significant group of Julian Dalmatian exiles. To be precise, these are two central moments that are at the basis of the “new life” of what, shortly thereafter, will become the “Fertilia of the Julians”, after having been, in the 1920s and 1930s, the center...

Then we spent a long time with Egea Haffner and Giovanni Tomazzoni. With the “Little Girl with a Suitcase”, to whom we dedicated the Museum, we retraced the stages of our work and...
