Mursia publishes "Fiume, addio!" by Marino Micich
Drawing on research begun in 1998 by the Society of Rijeka Studies in collaboration with the Croatian Institute for History in Zagreb, Marino Micich reconstructs the fate of Rijeka's Italian population from World War II to the mass exodus of approximately 300.000 Italians from the Julian, Rijeka, and Dalmatian lands. The book retraces events from 1940 to 1954: the Yugoslav military occupation in 1945, the harsh repression of the new communist regime, the violence endured, and the slow disappearance of Italian identity in the city of Rijeka and the surrounding Istrian lands. A tribute to historical memory, but also an invitation to young European researchers to...

Norma Cossetto, Porzûs, Vergarolla. Faces and stories of forgotten massacres
Raimo and Montanari permitting, let's return to the denied tragedy of the Italians of Istria, Dalmatia and Venezia Giulia. Which only an imbecile can claim has anything to do with the Shoah, except that it was an immense tragedy. Of which the foibe are the apex.

TV programming for Remembrance Day 2022
A tragic page in Italian history, a wounded and contested land, crushed by border tensions in an Italy on the edge of the Iron Curtain. Istria and Dalmatia between 1943 and 1947 became the scene of massacres, of lives sucked into the darkness of the foibe, the karst cavities that dot the territory of Venezia Giulia, a place from which thousands left fearing for their survival. Parliament has chosen February 10 as the Day of Remembrance, in memory of the victims of the foibe and the Julian-Dalmatian exiles, and Rai will dedicate broadcasts, in-depth reports and special programming on TV, radio and the web to this anniversary. All the...
The memory of Marcel Tyberg and Prof. Enrico Mihich, exile from Fiume
Marcel Tyberg was a musician of Polish Jewish origins (Tee-berg) born in Vienna on January 27, 1893, who was eliminated in the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz on December 31, 1944. Tyberg from Vienna to Abbazia (Fiume) Marcel Tyberg came from a family of musicians, studied music from a very young age and had the opportunity to frequent the virtuoso violinist Jan Kubelik in Vienna and to become friends with another violinist, later conductor of the Viennese orchestra Rodolfo Lipizer. In 1916 the Tyberg family, in the midst of the world conflict, moved from Vienna to Abbazia, a splendid seaside tourist resort a few kilometers from Fiume and known as the “pearl...
The Society of Fiume Studies in Rome with archive and museum
The Society of Fiumani Studies and the Historical Archive Museum of Fiume has been based in the Julian-Dalmatian Quarter of Rome since 1960 and offers a free daily service to citizens, students and university researchers. Established in exile autonomously and with only the contributions of the Fiume exiles, for years it has been an institution recognized by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Superintendence of Archival and Museum Heritage of Lazio. Since 2004 it has been an institution recognized by law 92/2004 "The Day of Remembrance". The SSF publishes the Adriatic Studies Journal 'FIUME' every six months and has: a) an archive with over 120.000 documents, partly computerized and in the process of...
Law 92/2004 of the Day of Remembrance means Mother-Homeland, solidarity, democracy, freedom.
Va ' pensiero...Homeland or Mother-Homeland, the land of the ancestors. Lately there has been a lot of talk about Homeland in Italy for political and cultural identity purposes. It is good that it is being talked about and its ancient and ideal value is being rediscovered. A term that in the long post-war period became obsolete and hostile to the dominant political culture of single thought, which willingly used anti-fascism to make every form of action and alternative political thought uniform. A well-known intellectual, Galli Della Loggia, spoke years ago in one of his essays of "Death of the Homeland", denouncing and trying to explain a long and unjust process of removal of a high ideal, cultural and historical concept. Carlo...
Foibe and the public use of history
Instrumental polemics do not help build a bridge between the European past and present. The outbursts on the tragedy of the Julian foibe continue with new protagonists, often going as far as literally wanting to abolish law 92/2004. I do not intend to dwell here on what bizarre relevance there is to wanting to overturn an almost unanimous vote of the Italian parliament in favor of a law that intended to connect the memory of the Julian-Dalmatian exiles with national and European history. Obviously, this law, which established the Day of Remembrance of the suffering experienced by the Italian populations of Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia cannot and should not be abolished on the basis of...
30 years of dialogue between Fiume and the Fiume exiles
Fiume, 1991-2021. This year marks the first 30 years of dialogue with the city of origin by the associations founded by the Fiume exiles: Società di Studi Fiumani and Associazione Fiumani Italiani nel Mondo - Libero Comune di Fiume in Esilio (AFIM-Lcfe). The book edited by Giovanni Stelli and Marino Micich published in 2010 narrates the long journey of European civilization and culture, which allowed the cultural return of the Fiume exiles to their city of origin, today belonging to the Republic of Croatia. At the end of October, the Fiume gathering promoted by AFIM-Lcfe chaired by Franco Papetti will take place in the capital of Carnaro. An initiative unthinkable until...
