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...
Veltroni and the Julian-Dalmatian exiles in Rome
In January 2021, the second edition of Walter Veltroni's book "Rome. Stories to find my city" (Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli, Milan 2021) was published. I acquired the book with great interest also because Walter Veltroni, in his role as mayor of Rome (from 2001 to 2008), had often taken an interest in the community of Julian-Dalmatian exiles present in the capital, promoting conferences in the Campidoglio on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance and supporting some very important projects to remember the tragedy of the foibe. Among these projects, I would like to highlight in particular the support offered by Veltroni to the design and construction of a monument...

They had spontaneously...
Between denialism and memories, the life of the exiles of Rome
Journey to the Giuliano-Dalmata neighborhood of Rome, a former abandoned workers' village where some of the Italian exiles fleeing Tito's persecution have rebuilt their lost community Elena Barlozzari - 10/02/2018 From 1945 onwards, Italy found itself having to manage the exodus of its compatriots fleeing the territories occupied by the former Yugoslavia and Tito's persecution. In the end, approximately 350 Italians from Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia abandoned their homes and landed in Trieste. Thus the "communist dream" on which the First Republic was born was shattered. And to try to close the "case" quietly, the government of the time decided to disperse...
