Mattarella, Remembrance Day preserves and renews tragedy memory

(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 10 - "Almost twenty years have passed since the Italian Parliament established, with a significant majority, the Day of Remembrance, dedicated to the path of pain inflicted on the Italians of Istria, Dalmatia and Venezia Giulia in the dramatic historical phase linked to the Second World War and the events following it".

A law, which wants to "preserve and renew the memory of the tragedy of the Italians and of all the victims of the sinkholes, of the exodus from their lands of the Istrians, Fiume and Dalmatians after World War II and of the more complex story of the eastern border".

   Sergio Mattarella said it at the Quirinale.
