Foibe. A term unknown to many Italians. I remember my first article where I quoted the sinkholes, a 2004 article, many people asked me what it meant, and what I meant by the term "infoibare. Today in 2010, after several shows and documentaries on TV, after many discussions and responses, sometimes institutional Foibe entering the Italian vocabulary in everyday language. Unfortunately, these terms and enter the pages of history without a common language that we still have the awareness of this phenomenon was, event, Foibe. A history of failure to Italy for more than half a century, a page torn from history books and go just now. This result was achieved after years of struggles but still there is a full consciousness on how sad and horrible this part of Italian history.
I do not want to make comparisons with what happened in the twentieth century or any other historical facts, but it is not acceptable that the victims of the wars of other states have ceremonial and propaganda that last month and our martyrs are considered dead in Italian Serie B.
Fiume, Istria and Dalmatia considered citizens, indeed, be human-division just because of Italian nationality, and then tortured, abused and infoibati. Killed for the second time when our memory denies them the right memory and right recognition.
We talk about nationalism and a sense of belonging to our land and our nation, we are all proud of being Italian and proud to be part of this people, just like Fiume, Istria and Dalmatia, as examples of heroism of those who fought for our land, who has fallen for our country and we do not take as an example of their own heroism, the Italians on the eastern border, who fell and died because they have denied and betrayed Italy.
The question of the eastern Italian border, as well as defines this part of history Sabbatucci (historian and professor of history), is a phenomenon complex that it is a child of World War II, but generated by hatred of the Italian people.
The sights of Tito's Communist conquerors drew an ethnic cleansing as the only method of conquering the Italian soil. These lands
Italian, both geography and culturally, have seen so much blood flow because of hatred against the communist Italian people. Now the politics and ideologies should step aside and allow these pages to the story, to make sure that there is a history not biased or vices to do favors to political parties or ideologies.
These pages of history must be written for future generations and to honor and remember the martyrs, these pages have to leave anything out.
The Italian people must know everything that has happened during the Second World War and its aftermath. Italians must know that not only Foibe karst cavities, but also the tombs for thousands of Italians who were thrown alive into these deep hollows of the ground. Italians must know that in Dalmatia Italians were made to drown in the Adriatic sea with a stone around his neck. The Eastern Question has to be gutted and brought to light.
Italian history is long and complex, and those who accuse the brothers of the other Italian Adriatic coast, they were dictators and tyrants address an invitation to read, to study the history of Istria and Dalmatia, to inquire and to know the policy of integration of Bajamonte, mayor of Split, to know the history of Nazario Sauro who gave their lives daily fighting for the peoples of the Adriatic had their freedom and independence, I suggest to study and understand what has Niccolò Tommaseo strong Italian culture. I stop here with the invitations, because the list is long and this is just a blog.
no wonder that a feeling of revenge will lead to new wars in search of revenge, but that history is written by highlighting all the events and phenomena, the pages of history written without defects or omissions, not only demands that history be rewritten, but that is made known to all.
