Interview with the President of FederEsuli de Vergottini on La Voce del Popolo
The newspaper of the native Italian community in the former Yugoslavia, La Voce del Popolo, always dedicates space to the world of exiles. In particular, Rosanna Turcinovich Giuricin, in the Saturday edition, interviews a representative of the Julian-Dalmatian community in exile or provides an in-depth analysis of a specific topic that has to do with the Adriatic diaspora. On Saturday 29 June, she interviewed the outgoing President of the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles, Prof. Avv. Giuseppe de Vergottini (the Federal Council will meet on 6 June to elect his successor). The question is direct, immediate. What has it been for...
The speech of the President of FederEsuli de Vergottini at the Quirinale
Mr. President, authorities, friends of Giuliano Dalmati. 76 years have now passed since the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty. A diktat that sanctioned the almost complete loss of Venezia Giulia that had joined Italy at the end of the First World War. Today we are here to celebrate the memory of the sad period of civilian killings in the autumn of 1943, followed by the widespread killings at the end of the conflict, including the first massacre of civilians committed in Pola in August 1946, the first massacre in the history of our Republic. These were the premises of the subsequent exodus. I would like to insist on the value of what was decided by our Parliament in...

Osimo, a Treaty that is still being discussed
Polemics, protests, silences, disinterest and reticence: the Treaty of Osimo, signed in the town in the Marche region on 10 November 1975, marked a controversial page in the history of the eastern Italian border. In the face of historians, observers and politicians who judged it a masterpiece in the creation of an Italian Ostpolitik in the midst of the Cold War aimed at perfecting the already good relations with communist Yugoslavia, the Treaty of Osimo was immediately opposed by the Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles, while in Parliament the only vain opposition came from the Italian Social Movement. If at the time the bilateral agreement between Italy and Yugoslavia...

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...
