1946: the National League is reborn
During the 42 days of Yugoslav occupation, Trieste had endured the traumatic experience of an annexation that, under the banner of communist terror, sought to erase its identity, replacing Italian Trieste with a Balkan Trieste. On June 12, 1945, the men with the red star were forced to leave. The Allies, the Anglo-Americans, had taken over. The terror was over, but it was replaced by a strong sense of uncertainty and, above all, the anguished question: "What if Tito's men return?" It was in this context that the National League was reborn in 1946. Its mission was clear: to defend the identity of the city of San Giusto,...

A Memory of Giuseppe – Pino Vuxani
A proud Zaratino has left us. With him, the last descendant of the Vuxani family, patriots of the Albanian community of Borgo Erizzo, a hamlet of the Municipality of Zara that bears the name of the Provveditore of the Republic of Venice, Nicolò Erizzo, who in 1726 welcomed and assigned to that place a group of Albanian Catholic families who had fled to escape the Ottoman occupation, has disappeared. In Zara, before the outbreak of the Great War, the Vuxani house was an important reference, headquarters of the Autonomist Party (the pro-Italian party), of the National League, of the Bersaglieri Society and of the Italo-Albanian Association. Giuseppe – Pino Vuxani (Zara 23.02.1926 – Trieste 16.12.2021)...
Dante and the legends in Istria
This work by Valentina Petaros is certainly intriguing and "curious", in which two important components of her (volcanic) personality find expression. First of all, her relationship with the Supreme Poet: a graduate in Philology and Dante criticism, she has certainly built her education on the figure and work of Alighieri and, in her work, one can feel how everything has materialized, in Petaros, in something more than a simple cultural fact. Valentina is "in love" with Dante (and she has good reason to be). But in Valentina's (big) heart there is also room for another love (in addition, obviously, to family ones) and I am referring to her strong bond with...
