Respecting the death of Norma Cossetto
“Infoibati” by Guido Rumici, published by Mursia in 2002, was the first scientific publication that specifically dealt with the foibe. Already on this occasion the terrible death of Norma Cossetto left the memory of the Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles, who had guarded it for decades, and was presented in a documented and appropriate manner. The special commission, which prepares the investigation to assign honors to the descendants of the victims of the foibe and the deportations carried out by Tito's communist partisans, worked scrupulously before the President of the Republic and former partisan Carlo Azeglio Ciampi...
Italy and Croatia resolve the still open issues of the exiles
On the eve of the meeting between the Italian and Croatian Foreign Ministers, the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia hopes that not only current issues will be addressed, but also those still open regarding the Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles, their descendants and Adriatic Italianity in general. As the successor state of Yugoslavia, Croatia still has to clarify with Italy the methods for liquidating the compensation it is entitled to, based on the Treaty of Osimo and the subsequent Rome Agreements, with reference to the abandoned assets in its portion of the former Zone B of the never-established Free Territory of...
ANPI's hatred against Norma Cossetto
It is shocking to see the rancor that the National Association of Italian Partisans has dedicated to the commemorations of Norma Cossetto, an Istrian student raped and then thrown into a sinkhole by Yugoslavian communist partisans in the terrible days following the political, military and institutional collapse of Italy following September 8. Immediately after the institution of the Day of Remembrance with Law 92/2004, there were moments of civil confrontation between the associations of the Adriatic diaspora (with the support of the President of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, Senator Lucio Toth) and the ANPI, with particular reference to the complicated plot that was recorded at...
July 13th in Trieste, a day with two sides
In light of some misleading interpretations that have been provided regarding a rhetorical response given by the President of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, Cav. Renzo Codarin, during an interview, it is reiterated that the ANVGD, consistently with the various communications issued and published on the eve of the Trieste day of July 13, distinguishes two parts of the joint visit of Presidents Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor. «The importance of the historical aspect – Codarin specified – that the visit of the Head of the Slovenian State to the National Monument of the Foiba of Basovizza has goes well beyond what can be...

The President of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, Cav.

New bilateral commissions for the history of the eastern border
Last November marked the thirtieth anniversary (1989-2019) of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a historical moment that coincided with the fragmentation of socialist-inspired countries and the dissolution of the two blocs that had characterized the second half of the twentieth century. The 1993s then began a process of rapprochement between states that had maintained very cold diplomatic relations for decades. In this perspective, the dismemberment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the creation of new national entities such as Slovenia and Croatia offered Italy various prospects for collaboration. In XNUMX, the Mixed Commissions were established...
July 13th in Trieste: an important date, but still many issues to resolve
Within the National Council of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, which met on Tuesday 30 June via videoconference, in order to allow councillors from all over Italy to participate in compliance with the current health provisions, a document was approved regarding the imminent joint visit of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella and his Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor to Trieste. After having focused attention in previous communications on the visit of the two Heads of State to the National Monument of the Foiba of Basovizza, the ANVGD intended to endorse an open letter released by Davide...
The importance of Mattarella and Pahor's visit to the Basovizza Foiba
The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, in analogy with what was expressed by the Mayor of Trieste Roberto Dipiazza and the President of the Region Massimiliano Fedriga, has grasped the great importance of the visit that the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella will make together with his Slovenian counterpart in Basovizza. The other stops of the day have given rise to controversy in Trieste and in Parliament, but even beyond the border the decision of President Borut Pahor to go to the National Monument of the Foiba of Basovizza has not been free from criticism. And yet, ten years after the Concert of the Three Presidents (held at the end of a day in which it was made...
Koper's Schergat deserves a ship named after him
The sale to Egypt of two frigates just delivered by Fincantieri to the Italian State is perplexing. A perplexity that goes beyond the management of the operation that "forgets" to ask Cairo as a minimum compensation for some more information on the end of one of our young compatriots, a fact that demonstrates once again the weakness of our diplomacy, this time in the presence of a nation far from representing a superpower. With these premises it should not be surprising that the one to pay for this sale was a frigate that bears the name of the Gold Medal for Military Valor Spartaco Schergat, originally from the Capodistrian countryside. He...
The exiles, disconcerted by Di Maio, want to meet Conte
The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, shocked by the lack of attention paid to the still open issues concerning the Istrian exiles by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Di Maio during his visit to Slovenia, requests that a delegation of the associations of the Istrian, Rijeka and Dalmatian exiles be able to meet with the Prime Minister Conte. On the occasion of the institutional ceremony of the Day of Remembrance 2020, President Conte had expressed appropriate words and demonstrated interest in the resolution of the problems still to be completed in terms of rights denied to compatriots forced to abandon Istria, Rijeka...
