ECR Group - European Conservatives and ReformistsLOW N1.3, European Parliament, BrusselsBrussels BelgiumECR GROUP EVENTRemembering Norma Cossetto and the tragedy of the FoibeConference and film screening on the Foibe and the Exodus📅 Date:Wednesday, 12 February 2026🕐 Time:14:30 – 16:00📍 Location:LOW N1.3About the EventECR 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.Film TrailerHosted by+Stefano CAVEDAGNA Italy   MEP  Member of the European Parliament ECR FdI Stefano CAVEDAGNACommittees V-CHAIR EUDS  IMCO ENVIDelegations CHAIR D-CL  DLAT×+Alessandro CIRIANI Italy   MEP  Member of the European Parliament ECR FdI Alessandro CIRIANICommitteesLIBE ITRE HOUSDelegationsD-RS D-ME DACP DCAB×Programme14:30Conference and Film ScreeningScreening of "Red Land" (Maximiliano Hernando Bruno & Alessandro Centenaro) followed by panel discussion with Antonella Sberna, Nicola Procaccini, Carlo Fidanza, Stefano Cavedagna, Alessandro Ciriani, and Mauro Runco (ANVGD).Speakers+Antonella SBERNA Italy  MEP Vice-President of the European Parliament ECR FdI Antonella SBERNACommitteesREGI HOUSDelegationsD-AL×+Nicola PROCACCINI Italy  MEP Co-Chair of the ECR Group ECR FdI Nicola PROCACCINICommitteesEMPL ENVI ITRE AFCODelegationsD-IN×+Carlo FIDANZA Italy  MEP Head of Fratelli d'Italia delegation ECR FdI Carlo FIDANZACommitteesAGRI TRANDelegationsD-CN×+Mauro RUNCONational Board MemberANVGD Mauro RUNCONational Board Member of ANVGD (National Association of the Venezia Giulia and Dalmazia).×+Alessandro CENTENAROFilm ProducerRed Land Alessandro CENTENAROFilm producer of "Red Land", a documentary film about the Foibe tragedy.×+Maximiliano H.
