Istrian communists said "Titoists worse than fascists"
The publisher Ronzani continues its meritorious work of recovery and dissemination of the autochthonous Italian literature of the Eastern Adriatic. After a trilogy dedicated to Nelida Milani and her perspectives on the life of those "left behind" in Communist Yugoslavia, it is the turn of the poet from Rovinj Ligio Zanini, whose autobiography Martin Muma dwells extensively on the inhuman conditions in which the "Cominformist" Communists ended up in the gulag of Goli Otok (the Bare Island), those who recognized the supreme authority of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Cominform (coordination body between the Communist parties) even after the Tito/Stalin split in the summer...

Goli Otok, the broken memory
At dawn, Goli Otok is pale. Gray. An anonymous island against which the oily waves of the Kvarner break. Looking at it from the mainland you can't see any kind of vegetation; you can't see either trees or shrubs. From the water emerges only a stretch of livid and sterile rock.

Looking at it, men have begun to call it in many ways: some have called it "bald", others "naked". But the most suitable adjective, perhaps, is "secret". The back of the island, a high cliff...
