Keywords:

Abstract
One of the main consequences of the II World War was the design of new borders. Thus, many territories became part of other states. This is the case of the peninsula of Istria, Italian from the end of the first contingent and included into Yugoslavia in 1954. For this, hundreds of thousands of Italians who lived there had to choose between the exile in Trieste and a life under the new Communist regime of Marshal Tito as an ethnic minority. In this social and political context Fulvio Tomizza’s works take place, as a requiem for the lost land.Downloads
