The toponyms of Borgo Erizzo between Italian, Albanian and Croatian
The phenomenon of triglossia is clearly represented in the southeastern part of Zadar, because it is precisely in this part of the city, known as Arbanasi or Borgo Erizzo, that the inevitable linguistic contact between the Albanian language – characterized by the Gheg dialect –, Croatian and Italian occurred among the local inhabitants. The triglossia present in the southeastern part of the territory of Zadar, at a different level of prestige for each language, has produced an exceptional variety of linguistic contact.

The “bill” of September 8 was paid at the eastern borders
September 8 as the day of Italy's redemption in the Second World War. September 8 as the beginning of the Resistance and the fight against Nazi-fascism on a larger scale. The usual ceremonies have insisted on these aspects, but for the Italians of the eastern border this date is well represented by the title of the famous essay by Ernesto Galli Della Loggia «The Death of the Fatherland». A Fatherland that entered into agony in the retreats in Russia and North Africa, in the war of attrition in the Balkans and in the collapse of the fascist regime. A Fatherland idealized and exalted in the unredeemed lands until the moment it materialized in November 1918, presenting itself in the austere clothes...
On June 2, 46, the people of Giulianova, Fiume and Zadar were unable to vote.
Of the 573 seats of the Constituent Assembly to be assigned and provided for by the Legislative Decree of the Lieutenant n. 74 of 10 March 1946, in reality only 556 were assigned, the 13 foreseen for the XII District (Trieste and Venezia Giulia – Zara) being missing, in addition to the 5 of the province of Bolzano. With a further Decree of the Lieutenant, only six days later, it was deemed impossible to hold elections in those border lands, due to the international situation. The founding moment of the Italian State emerging from the rubble of the conflict therefore took place without involving the citizens residing in lands that, until the deliberations...

April 25th was not a liberation for all Italians
On the day the Northern Italy National Liberation Committee unleashed the insurrection in Milan and in the other main cities now abandoned by the retreating Germans, in the far north-east the situation was very different. The Anglo-American troops were far from Venezia Giulia because, once the Gothic Line had been broken through, the priority was to reach the Brenner Pass and from there quickly get to Bavaria, where it was feared that the last desperate German resistance would be concentrated. Instead, the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia was marching at forced marches, more interested in reaching Trieste, Gorizia, Pola and Fiume than in regaining control of cities...
