Referendum2June

Julian-Dalmatians excluded from the June 2nd Referendum

Letter from Franco Luxardo (President of the Association of Italian Dalmatians in the World - Free Municipality of Zara in Exile) to Aldo Cazzullo's column "Letters to the Corriere". Few people know that College XII - "Trieste and Venezia Giulia - Zara" was unable to vote in the Referendum. We know the reasons: Yugoslav military occupation of Zara-Fiume and much of Istria, Free Territory of Trieste with American and English troops in Pola, Trieste and Gorizia. It was a real shame that hundreds of thousands of Italians were excluded from the founding moment of our Republic. Unfortunately, President Mattarella did not say it last night. I...
Silly Champions

The great Julian-Dalmatian champions

The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia presents SO FAR SO CLOSE ADALBERTO SCEMMA TELLS THE STORIES OF THE GREAT GIULIAN DALMATIAN CHAMPIONS They are all great champions, sports people, accustomed to hard work, sacrifice and success.

All of them have honored the roots of their land, all of them, so far away and yet ideally always so close to their roots, have honored sport in its maximum expression. These are their...
Mole For Italy

Reprint of “For Italy” by Oddone Talpo

The Dalmatian Society of National History - Venice has published a very important and indispensable book, especially for the Dalmatians of Italian language and culture uprooted by nationalistic hatred after many centuries from Dalmatia. A work updated by Franco Luxardo and Giorgio Varisco, which is also very useful for the young generations of Italians and Croatians, so that they know a historical truth of Dalmatia, silenced for many years in universities and academies. A necessary contribution, in my opinion, not only for Italy but for Europe as a whole; because the history of the Italian Dalmatians is ancient and noble, worthy of being known and not thrown into the sea...
