Dear friends of the Eastern Adriatic [Paolo Sardos Albertini]
Dear friends and brothers, Italians of Istria, Fiume, Dalmatia, Montenegro The National League celebrated 130 years of its history, also remembering you. Because, of this long period that touched three centuries, that went from the era of horse-drawn trams to that of computers, because of these many decades of history a good part was lived also with you, also by you. Thus at the time of the resistance against the Habsburg genocide: the National League was present in your territories to try to stem the will of Franz Joseph to use every means to erase the Italian presence and Slavicize this entire area.

Dante. The testimony of the plurality of the Italian territory
In conversation with the scholar and Dante scholar Valentina Petaros Jeromela from Koper, who illustrates the importance of her volume, published by the National League of Trieste on the occasion of the seven hundredth anniversary of the death of the Father of the Italian language. Literature is made up of travel stories, because we do not only travel through space, but also through time: all of man's life can be considered a journey and is comparable to an uninterrupted series of stages and encounters, together with other traveling companions. The Divine Comedy represents not only a literary work but also a journey: spiritual, through Hell, Purgatory and...
Dante and the legends in Istria
This work by Valentina Petaros is certainly intriguing and "curious", in which two important components of her (volcanic) personality find expression. First of all, her relationship with the Supreme Poet: a graduate in Philology and Dante criticism, she has certainly built her education on the figure and work of Alighieri and, in her work, one can feel how everything has materialized, in Petaros, in something more than a simple cultural fact. Valentina is "in love" with Dante (and she has good reason to be). But in Valentina's (big) heart there is also room for another love (in addition, obviously, to family ones) and I am referring to her strong bond with...

July 11, 1920 the Split incident
These days many articles are dedicated to the burning of the Balkan in Trieste on July 13, 1920, but rarely is reference made to the killing of Tommaso Gulli, commander of the Royal Ship Puglia and Gold Medal for Military Valor, and the engineer Aldo Rossi, Silver Medal for Military Valor, in Split on the evening of the previous July 11. The arrival of this news in the Julian capital, where the Austro-Hungarian policies of divide and conquer, developed by the authorities in Vienna in the last decades of the Habsburg monarchy, had exacerbated opposing nationalisms, had given rise to a series of demonstrations that culminated in the shooting that took place on the Balkan. To this...
