Insufficient and late legislation for Adriatic exiles
Again with considerable delay, to improve the deficient legislation on refugee assistance, the Italian government enacted a series of legislative provisions. Law No. 137/1952, which also provided for the allocation of public housing to refugees, was followed in July 1952 by Law No. 1010 ("Provisions for refugees from Venezia Giulia who already owned warehouses and monopoly shops"), the purpose of which was to offer a series of benefits to encourage them to continue their businesses in their home territories. In 1956, a new decree, No. 1117, was issued, which, to address the scourge of unemployment, granted refugees...
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...
There was no exodus of Croats from Fiume in 1920
Rethinking the Fiume Enterprise, but with objective historical data. There was no exodus of Croats from Fiume in 1920. I received an article by Mr. Marco Barone, published in the "Reports" column of the Trieste daily newspaper Il Piccolo, on which I would like to make some observations for the sake of historical objectivity, which is based on reliable data, not imaginary data or data from foreign sources. Certainly, not all Fiume residents favored the continuation of D'Annunzio's Enterprise. This first occurred in December 1919 (about three months after D'Annunzio's Holy Entry on September 12, 1919, with his volunteers), when the Italian National Council of...

Red Star in Rijeka European Capital of Culture
With money from the European Community, red stars and museums in memory of the dictator Tito (Galeb ship) are financed in defiance of the European Resolution of 19 September 2019. This is the response of the Association for the culture of Rijeka, Istria and Dalmatia in Lazio - Historical Archive Museum of Rijeka: we hope to abide by the principles of the European Resolution of 19 September 2019, since Tito's Yugoslav communist regime is included in the list of dictatorial regimes. World War II - Battle of Rijeka (17 April - 2 May 1945). The question about the 2.800 fallen on the Yugoslav partisan side - from 350 to 2.800 deaths there is a big difference. But the Municipality of...

July 13: visit to the Basovizza Foiba by the two Italian and Slovenian presidents
In the future, support historical and scientific research must be restored, involving the associations and research centers of Julian-Dalmatian exiles. The Julian-Dalmatian exile community must be considered a subject, not an object, of history and political decisions. Therefore, we must immediately initiate and support qualified historical studies on sensitive and divisive issues concerning the Italian victims during and after the Second World War. The issue of victims during and especially after the Second World War concerns not only Italy and Slovenia, but also Italy and Croatia. Very important initiatives have been undertaken with Croatia in...
60 years of the Society of Fiuman Studies in Rome
This year the Society of Fiumani Studies celebrates the 60th anniversary of its refoundation in exile in Rome. In 1923 it was founded in Rijeka and in 2023 it will be the centenary. Remembering the Historical Archive-Museum of Rijeka of the Society of Fiumani Studies, founded in Rome in 1963, aims to be a further stimulus for a deeper understanding of the silenced history, however it is mistakenly known, lived with great dignity by the population of Rijeka fleeing the Yugoslavian communist dictatorship to preserve above all their identity and freedom.

The action of the OZNA (later UDBA) continued even after June 1945
TRIESTE – “Liberation Day from Yugoslav Occupation”. June 12, 1945 is only the beginning of a long struggle to re-establish democracy and bring Trieste back to Italy. After June 12, 1945, which marks the beginning of the liberation from the Yugoslav nightmare, there was no real peace and security in Trieste not only for the Italians, but also for elements of the Slovenian minority not in line with Tito's communists. From new archive documents and journalistic sources of the time, it can be deduced how for a long time, in Trieste and in other parts of Italy, the various Yugoslav sections for the Defense of the People (OZNA and then...
