Rome, an exhibition on the Julian-Dalmatian exodus will be held at the Vittoriano. Agreement signed

A temporary exhibition on theJulian-Dalmatian exodus will be held at the Vittoriano: an agreement between the Vittoriano Institute and Palazzo Venezia (VIVE) and the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiuman and Dalmatian Exiles was signed today in Rome, in the presence of Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, VIVE director Edith Gabrielli, Federesuli president Renzo Codarin, Federesuli honorary president Giuseppe De Vergottini, and Minister Plenipotentiary Michele Rampazzo, coordinator for minorities and exiles.

VIVE will provide the space located on the 1st level of the Vittoriano, while the Federation of Associations of Exiles will elaborate the scientific and museographic project, share with the Vittoriano the operational steps, and carry out the exhibition, whose admission will be free.

“This exhibition is the first and important step toward the realization of the Museum of Remembrance here in Rome dedicated to the memory of the Italian martyrs of the foibe massacred by the blind communist Titina violence. Thanks to the agreement with the Federation of Associations of Exiles we will give life to an exhibition at the Vittoriano that will light, in a highly symbolic place central to national identity, a powerful beacon on the black hole of memory linked to the exodus, from their lands, of Istrians, Fiumans and Dalmatians after World War II,” said Minister Sangiuliano. “With this exhibition we continue to restore, after too much silence, the due visibility and above all the right dignity and memory to the tragedy of the foibe.”

“The Vittoriano was built to honor the memory of the first king of Italy through the values of the unity of the homeland and the freedom of its citizens,” said VIVE director Edith Gabrielli. “These founding values remain intact in the republican order and in today’s European reality. The Vittoriano with its more than four million annual visitors is the monument that tells the story of Italy and Italians in moments of success and also in moments of pain. Numerous important exhibitions from the past stand to prove this. The agreement signed today with FederEsuli serves as a reminder of an extremely painful historical episode for thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens, and thus for the Italian people as a whole. As director, I am and remain convinced that, in anticipation of the Museum of Remembrance, the Vittoriano will be up to this institutional, civil and moral task.”

“The signing of this agreement confirms the renewed spirit of cooperation between Federesuli and institutions, particularly with the Ministry of Culture. The exhibition at the Vittoriano is an important and ambitious project for which I can only thank Director Gabrielli and Minister Sangiuliano, whose sensitivity to our history is a harbinger of great results,” added Federesuli President Renzo Codarin.
