Italy observes the Day of Remembrance on February 10 to honor the victims of the foibe massacres and the forced exodus of Italians from Istria and Dalmatia after World War II.

This solemn day, established in 2004, sheds light on the nationalist and ideological conflicts that led to these tragedies.

Around 300,000 Italians were displaced as their homeland came under Yugoslav control, with many facing violence and persecution.

The foibe and the exodus remain a painful chapter in Italian history, resurfacing in public memory in the 1990s.

Events and programs, such as those on Rai Storia, aim to preserve these memories and promote reflection on human rights and reconciliation.
