Gorizia European Capital of Remembrance
The Day of Remembrance is not only intended to commemorate the victims of the massacres committed by Tito's communist partisans, but also a moment of reflection on the centuries-old presence of Italianness in the eastern Adriatic, as well as a perspective on the future of this border region: the city of Gorizia embodies all these elements. This conviction emerged at the end of a video call between the mayor of the Julian capital Rodolfo Ziberna and Giuseppe de Vergottini, President of the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles and of Coordinamento Adriatico APS, an association that deals with research and in-depth analysis...

The Treaty of Rapallo and the Ethnic Cleansing of the Italians of Dalmatia
One hundred years after the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo, the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles wishes to remember this date as the initial phase of a process that led to the definitive erasure of Italians from Dalmatia. The Day of Remembrance does not stop on February 10th, therefore Federesuli, one hundred years after the hasty agreement between the Kingdom of Italy and the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) wishes to remember the date of the beginning of the erasure of Italians from Dalmatia. That fragile microcosm where, starting from the fall of the Roman Empire, passing through Saint Jerome and the two Dalmatian popes Saint...

The Constitution According to D'Annunzio
The Carta del Carnaro is a singular constitutional act neglected by legal studies. It cannot be seen as an episode of interest only in the local reality of Fiume in the first post-war period but must be placed in the profound upheavals that in that period marked Central Europe, from the Baltic to the Balkans. The book leaves in the background the historical debate on Fiumanism and the complex events that marked the relations between Italy and Yugoslavia and focuses on the original setting of the choices shared between Alceste De Ambris and Gabriele d'Annunzio, highlighting the originality of the conception of rights that revealed itself as a forerunner of constituent decisions...
It happened in Split, a hundred years ago
by Piero Cordignano - 26/07/2020 - Source: Il Corriere della Sera One hundred years ago in Split, the captain of a ship and his engineer were killed. Gabriele d'Annunzio later wanted the bow of the Royal Ship Puglia in the garden of the Vittoriale to commemorate this event. No one, 100 years later, has remembered it, however, in Italy, or at least almost no one, except me and the constitutionalist Prof. Giuseppe de Vergottini who, together with a few others, went to lay a wreath on the bust of Commander Gulli at the Pincio in Rome. Despite various requests, not even the Navy deemed it appropriate to pay homage to the two fallen. Who were also at the root of everything that happened...
