Croatia and Slovenia

Istria, a peninsula in southeastern Europe that juts into the Adriatic Sea between the Gulf of Trieste to the west and the Kvarner to the east, is today divided between Croatia and Slovenia. Here, as well as in Rijeka/Fiume (Croatia) and, in small numbers, Dalmatia and Slavonia, lives a small community of Italians. The literary and artistic production of Italians from Croatia and Slovenia is particularly intense in Istria and Rijeka/Fiume, where the Italian national community although numerically contained, can list a considérable number of artists and literary figures that make that community rather distinctive. In spite of the consistent exodus of Italians between 1945 and 1955, those who stayed in this region, though reduced to a minority, have shown themselves to be exceptionally faithful to their roots and to have an ability to survive, to endure, and to adapt to a political and social context that is radically changed.
