The toponymy of Reggio Emilia will celebrate Norma Cossetto
The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, the oldest and most representative association of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles, expresses to the Mayor of Reggio Emilia Luca Vecchi and his municipal administration its most sincere support for the favorable opinion obtained from the Toponymy Commission on the motion requesting the naming of a street after Norma Cossetto. This is an important recognition by the City of the Tricolour to the Istrian student Gold Medal for civil merit, awarded in 2005 by the then President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and awarded in the immediate post-war period with the "honorary degree to the...
Justificationism against Norma Cossetto
Schürzel (Anvgd), "stunned by statements on Cossetto by Pomezia councilors" "Disconcerting news. In Pomezia, several M5s and Pd councilors have rejected the proposal to name the garden on Via Farina after Norma Cossetto. But the serious thing is that, beyond the fact that another location could have been found if that one is considered unsuitable, the statements of some councilors were decidedly out of place, demonstrating actual historical ignorance of the facts. Some have made a distinction between martyrs and the dead, who thus automatically become series A and series B, adducing, in fact, an ideological motivation for this decision". He told Adnkronos...
Denying the Foibe and Exodus by ignoring facts, figures and documents
This year too, for the Day of Remembrance for the ethnic cleansing on the eastern border of Italy, the more or less recycled post-communist left will feed us the usual Yugo-negationist mush, in an attempt to justify the crimes of the Yugoslavian communists with the violence of the bad fascists, indeed very bad, of which we report an example. But let's read the whining of the Yugo-justificationists: "That of the "foibe" is a real political-cultural operation, which has contributed to creating or consolidating an anti-communist and anti-anti-fascist common sense, aimed at promoting a counterfeit memory", says Angelo d'Orsi together with his colleagues Andrea...
Little vademecum for February 10th
1 - no, the story does not begin on July 13, 1920 with the burning of the Narodni Dom in Trieste. The violence had begun much earlier and no one remembers that in 1915 the Slovenians had attacked Italian cultural institutions with the complicity of the Austro-Hungarian police, burning the headquarters of "Il Piccolo", the "Lega Nazionale", Italian bookshops and cafés, Italian gyms and sports clubs, etc. 2 - no, there is no proportional relationship between "fascist oppression" and the foibe. There is no proportion between telling a Slovenian or a Croatian "speak Italian!!" and taking people away, tying them up with wire and throwing them alive into a foibe. 3 - no, the question of...
Exodus and Foibe, the position of the Italian State was traced by Mattarella
Codarin (ANVGD): “Mattarella has well defined the synthesis and perspective of a path built over the years by the Julian Dalmatian associations thanks to Lucio Toth and enlightened exponents of various political and cultural extractions”. The position of the Italian State regarding the attempts to justify or deny the Foibe massacres has already been authoritatively stated by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella during the recent celebration at the Quirinale of the Day of Remembrance. In fact, on that occasion, President Mattarella, firmly condemning any attempt at historical revisionism, clearly highlighted the criminal matrix...
Open letter to Moni Ovadia
Dear Moni Ovadia, I am writing to you regarding your article that appeared on February 12, 2019 in Il Manifesto and was taken up by the blog RemoContro entitled: Auschwitz and Salvini's Foibe. First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I was born in the late 50s in a Julian-Dalmatian refugee settlement in Rome. My parents were exiles, like my wife's. My family, traditionally Catholic, liberal, democratic (like almost all of our family), suffered not only the Exodus from their hometown, but also persecution in peacetime for being Italian, all after having an uncle who, refusing to fight for the Germans, was deported from... after September 8th.
At the University of Padua, death threats to those who speak of red foibe
Talking about the tragedy of the foibe is still forbidden in Italy. Or at least it is at the University of Padua. A public meeting was planned for Thursday, March 22 (at the Esu Ederle residence in via Belzoni) to remember Norma Cossetto, the student of the University of Padua, kidnapped, raped and killed by Tito's militiamen in 1943, during the first and ferocious episodes of ethnic cleansing that characterized the Yugoslav "resistance" in Istria and Dalmatia. An institutional meeting, strongly desired by the Education Councilor of the Veneto Region, Elena Donazzan, to present the comic Foiba rossa (also attached to the Giornale on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance) dedicated to this...
Turin. A “hoax” conference against the victims of the Foibe
Mayor Appendino, warned by Avvenire: "I didn't know anything, I guarantee it won't happen". An association had promoted it in the Museum of the former Le Nuove prison. The director: I'd rather close it by Lucia Bellaspiga - Thursday 1 February 2018 The red star that stands out on the poster is that of Tito, the Yugoslavian communist marshal responsible for the Foibe and the ethnic cleansing against the Italians of Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia. And the one organizing the denialist conference in Turin on 10 February, precisely on the day dedicated by law to the Remembrance of the Foibe and the Julian-Dalmatian Exodus, is a certain "National Coordination for Yugoslavia" (for friends...
