After July 13: Slovenia & Italy towards a common memory by Paolo Sardos Albertini - 04/09/2020 - Source: Lega Nazionale The act performed by the Slovenian and Italian Heads of State on July 13 at the Basovizza Shrine had a very specific meaning: to pay, together, honor to the victims of Tito's terror, a common homage to Italians and Slovenians who had been massacred as "enemies of the people" and who are now remembered as innocent victims. That was an important moment for the creation of a "common memory" that finally makes explicit the truth of what happened: a huge tragedy that involved an incredible number of victims and that has...
