Verified profile


The issue of the Adriatic Frontier represents one of the most complex events of European twentieth century.

A long-forgotten story, of families straddling different worlds, of broken and reunited communities, of denied languages and resistances, of Italians who chose Italy twice, who experienced and suffered the Julian-Dalmatian exodus starting from the end of the Second World War.


The story of more than 250,000 people forced to leave their homes and lands, at the eastern border with Italy. The exhibition The Adriatic Frontier. The Twentieth Century and the Eastern Border is born as an educational path for secondary schools of I and II degree that retraces the events of the Julian-Dalmatian exodus with images, sources, and testimonies of individual life intersecting with the grand History.

The proposed educational activities allow for the development of interdisciplinary paths for the conscious reading of the complexity offered by a frontier history, paradigmatic of many other European stories.
