A museum on the victims of the foibe will be created in Rome: bill proposed by Meloni and Sangiuliano passed

The Council of Ministers has given the green light to a bill to establish, in Rome, a “Museum of Remembrance” that will serve to preserve the memory of the victims of the foibe as well as the exodus of Italians fromIstria, Fiume and Dalmatia in the postwar period. It is today’s news of the approval of the bill, which was launched at the proposal of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano.

A foundation will be established for the construction and management of the museum, formed by the Ministry of Culture and the Lazio Region, in which other public and private entities may also participate. The total allocation for the purpose of establishing and setting up the “Museum of Remembrance” is 8 million euros for the three-year period 2024-2026.

“The creation of the Museum,” said Minister Sangiuliano, “is a historical duty to the Istrian, Fiuman and Dalmatian exiles who suffered under Tito’s communist dictatorship. These tragedies must not be forgotten. They are an important part of Italian history and must be known and understood by the new generations. I thank the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, for wanting to promote the Museum in which various entities will participate, starting with the Lazio Region, which, thanks to the commitment of President Francesco Rocca, will make the property available for the Museum and contribute to the planning and management.”

“Today the government gave the green light to a text to bring the Museo del Ricordo to life,” stressed Francesco Rocca, president of the Lazio Region. “Rome, the Capital of Italy, and Lazio, become custodians and promoters, in this way, of a rightful collective and national memory. The horrors generated by the totalitarianisms of the 20th century must become concrete and current witnesses to our younger generations and, above all, to those of the future. We have, therefore, developed this ambitious project with the MiC, thanks to the synergy with Minister Sangiuliano, which will soon see the rise, in Rome, of a place-symbol not only of the drama experienced by our compatriots on the eastern border throughout the 20th century, but will host and bring out from oblivion all the ’memories’ erased by history. It is a moral duty in which the Region firmly believes.”
