The City of Venice pays tribute to victims of the Foibe and Giuliano Dalmata exodus

On 4 February, Venice City Council President, Ermelinda Damiano, presented the programme of events for the 2021 "Giorno del Ricordo". The City of Venice pays tribute to the Foibe and Giuliano Dalmata exodus with a series of initiatives to remember those who died and the 350,000 who came to Italy from Istria and Fiume. The Italian Office of the Council of Europe joins the celebrations with two book presentations: "Migrazioni Adriatiche" by Lia De Luca and Maria Teresa Rossitto's  "Lettere dal confine orientale".

More than thirty appointments are scheduled this year, including cerimonies, conferences, readings and other cultural events. The calendar is available at https://www.comune.venezia.it/it/content/giorno-ricordo-2021. It will be possible to follow the initiatives in live or deferred streaming on City of Venice's social media.

Welcome to the Council of Europe Programme Office in Venice

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Programme Office of the Council of Europe in Venice. The Programme Office support Headquarters in the organisation of activities that span from culture and cultural heritage to training on human rights and democracy. I kindly invite you to surf through our website. Here you will find information on our past and present activities, news and articles about the Office and the Council of Europe. Venice is actively involved in Council of Europe activities. Venice is a member of the Council of Europe Intercultural Cities Network. The network supports cities in reviewing their policies through an intercultural lens and developing comprehensive strategies to help them manage diversity positively. Venice is also one of the four Faro Convention laboratories in Europe. Here the Council of Europe is testing how civil society and local authorities put into practice this relatively young Convention on democratic participation to cultural heritage. Venice participates in the Jewish Heritage Route. This important European cultural route certified by the Council of Europe, goes through the city and stops at its 500 years old ghetto and historic Jewish cemetery. In other words, Venice is a workshop and a test site for significant Council of Europe policies and programmes. Furthermore, the European Commission for Democracy through Law - better known as the Venice Commission, as it meets in Venice - is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.
