Rome-Belgrade
The Years of the Cold War (in Italian)
edited by: Marco Galeazzi
original title: Roma-Belgrado - Gli Anni della Guerra Fredda
published by: A. Longo editore
pp: 216
ISBN: 88-8063-062-8
price: € 15.49
This book, edited by Marco Galeazzi, stems from research and a conference organized and promoted by the Fondazione Istituto Gramsci of Rome and the lstituto Gramsci of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
The book deals with one of the most sensitive and controversial topics of Italian history after World War II. The conflict with Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1954 – over the issue of Trieste – and the painful story of the Istrian exodus were ideologically instrumentalized during the Cold War, causing irreconcilable feelings or constituting authentic tabus. Here for the first time, some of Italy’s best scholars – based on unpublished documents – unfettered by prejudice and with scientific objectivity, grapple with topics which, after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, now risk returning dramatically to the front stage, no longer setting Rome against Belgrade, but Italy against Slovenia and Croatia.
This book aims to comprehend the past from a perspective unencumbered by memories’ distortions.
