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.
