About the Event

ECR MEPs Stefano Cavedagna and Alessandro Ciriani will host a conference and film screening entitled "Norma Cossetto – The Foibe and the Exodus of Istrians, Giuliani, Fiumani and Dalmati".

The event aims to promote a serious and respectful reflection on one of the most painful and often overlooked chapters of European history. Despite the approval of Law 92/2004, which established February 10 as the Giorno del Ricordo (Day of Remembrance) in Italy, the awareness of the tragedy of the Foibe and the exodus of Istrians, Giuliani, Fiumani and Dalmati remains fragmented and difficult to disseminate at European level.

Supported by the ECR Group and organised in cooperation with cultural and historical associations actively engaged in preserving this memory, the event offers an important opportunity to strengthen a shared European remembrance, rooted in historical truth, dignity for the victims, and the defence of democratic values.
