Tullio Silvestri on show at IRCI with works also dedicated to the Exodus
"Tullio Silvestri: European artist between Trieste and Friuli": and beyond Trieste and Friuli, beyond his association with Svevo and Joyce, what is of exceptional importance for us, who come from Istrian, Fiume or Dalmatian blood? There are two emblematic - indeed, paradigmatic - canvases dedicated by the artist Silvestri, Venetian (Venetian: then, over time, Trieste and finally Friulian by adoption, as you now know)... we were saying: there are two paradigmatic canvases dedicated by Silvestri to the exodus of over three hundred thousand Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian, natives, from their ancestral lands. Today we dedicate ourselves to the first canvas. It is simply called "Exodus": it is a tempera. What do you notice? I would say,...

Cherso in pose [by Piero Delbello]
What is destiny? A moment, a sudden turn of the eye of a seagull that opens its wings among the garbage when it has spotted food. Or the leap of a cat among leftovers from a tavern and papers thrown in a corner of a landfill. Or the foot of a curious man who, in the same landfill, moves small and old cardboard boxes, flat, that look like books. But they are not books: they are the containers of photographic plates. Negatives, in short, on glass, as was once in use, at the dawn of the widespread diffusion of photography. Emerging from nowhere, after a hundred and more years, on the island of Cherso and today, cleaned, restored, scanned, brought back to life, those images give us time and...

Dante and D'Annunzio at the Irci in Trieste (via Torino): from April 1st to May 15th, every day, 10:30-12:30 and 16:30-18:30. Dante: we will appreciate and observe Dante's iconography between the end of the XNUMXth century and the beginning of the XNUMXth century in Trieste, Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia; we will thus evaluate, together, what the adoption of Dante's images meant and in what sense they could be loyal to irredentist propaganda and to the Italian cause, in general. How did these images circulate? They were postcards, posters and prints, published by various institutions, first and foremost the National League. Artists, the greatest Julian illustrators, mostly with Italian feelings and proven faith: from...
…of the twilights in September, all the ruin
The writings of the great poet from Trieste Lina Galli collected here, edited by the historian Roberto Spazzali, are mainly based on the author's autographed notes meticulously collected between 1945 and 1957 through the examination of the press, interviews, memoirs, testimonies, annotations. All this material was donated to the Regional Institute for Istrian, Fiumana and Dalmatian Culture by Luigi Galli and Maria Pia Galli on 22 February 2006, his heirs, and was reorganized by the historian Roberto Spazzali a few months later for study and research purposes. These texts fill a gap in the testimonial history of the events that occurred in Istria in the autumn of 1943, in the sense that...
History of the household goods of Warehouse 18
Towards the end of the 80s, in the Port of Trieste, work was underway on the construction of the Adria Terminal, a modern port infrastructure for the import and export of goods by ship. In order to have the space necessary for the construction of the new facility, two warehouses of the old Austro-Hungarian port had to be demolished; warehouse 21 and 22, both buildings overlooking the sea. These warehouses, however, were not empty. In fact, over the years, the household goods of Istrian exiles deposited in Trieste and also collected from the approximately 120 refugee camps present throughout the country had been collected inside them. In the 50s and 60s, left behind by the...
