Greetings from the President Napolitano on the occasion of the Remembrance Day ceremony
Palace Quirinale, 10/02/2010
are permitted to me a few words, although all said the best in vibrant, rich and read operations of the Secretary of De Vergottini professor, both of which I also appreciated because they are placed in full continuity with our ceremonies of the past years and what I myself wanted to say from the very first time after my election as President, to celebrate the Day of Remembrance. And I wanted to say unpleasant and unjustified and could have been some reactions to my words out of Italy while respectful of everyone.
We are here to renew this year the joint effort of memory, proximity, solidarity, against forgetting and against forms of removal Diplomatic weighed in the past and have caused considerable suffering to so many of you. We are therefore more than ever with those who lived the tragedy of war, sinkholes, exodus, we are next to them and their families, in addition to the families of innocent victims of horrific persecution and massacres. This means that the awards were presented by Secretary read on behalf of the Government at the Quirinal, and that are delivered in other Italian cities. Ours is a commitment to close for the resolution of outstanding issues, and certainly the attention of our Government, in relation to the new institutions and authorities of Slovenia and Croatia.
I recently received a very nice letter from Trieste, signed by two professors, Professor. Segatti and prof. Spadaro, and I showed that the same equanimity for all who work with their writings to reconstruct the history of events so painful. The same equanimity, and the same scientific rigor that marked the extraordinary work that I received this morning from the author, professor and professor Vergottini De Lago, with the decisive collaboration of Military Geography, have rebuilt the place names in the centuries of Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia.
I still be able to cite and make my own considerations of the two scholars who have written me from Trieste on the value of the occasion that the Day of Remembrance offers to reflect on "what was the experience historical, civil, political, of the Italians on the east coast of the Adriatic, of Julian, Fiume and Dalmatia, Italian language. "
agree with this solicitation and agree with the need for a chapter so original and specific culture and history only Italian but European "is not only recognized but acquired as a common heritage in the new Slovenia and Croatia with Italy in the European Union are meeting today in an EU that is by its nature carries respect for diversity and spirit of coexistence among different races, cultures and languages \u200b\u200balready fruitful and long cohabited in the past.
A prominent Italian writer Claudio Magris, also gave news of the recently essay by a scholar devoted to the contribution of large Austrian intellectuals giuliani democratic irredentism which found expression in a generous participation in the war of 1915-18, with the political end of the full achievement of the Risorgimento movement for the unification of Italy and together with the goal of a perfect peace of Europe in freedom and brotherhood among peoples.
These memories all to cultivate a view of the sesquicentennial of a united and a renewed commitment to build that Europe increasingly representative of its diverse traditions and more tightly integrated that is needed in today's globalized world and tomorrow. ->
