"Today we remember those who
helped make these lands Italian, we remember the dead soldiers,
those who, in various capacities, had to suffer the martyrdom of
the foibe to maintain Italianness," Massimiliano Lacota,
president of the Union of Istrians, said today in Trieste,
addressing hundreds of people who had gathered to celebrate the
Union's 70th anniversary. "We remember those who supported and
fought for the right to memory during the dark years, when these
things were not discussed," he said.
