    Lidia Matticchio Bastianich: Nostalgia and Success

    Alex Catti, Letizia Airos(February 17, 2019)
    To commemorate the National Memorial Day of the Exiles and Foibe (Giorno del ricordo), the Italian celebration for the memory of the victims of the Foibe and the Istrian-Dalmatian exodus. World-famous Italian chef Lidia Bastianich has a story as a refugee that transcends the culinary industry. Lidia was born following the conclusion of World War II, a time when European countries were still settling border disputes. As a young girl, she grew up among three different cultures, each with a profound influence on her. Today, as a professional, Lidia’s childhood experiences and her family ties continue to prove monumental in her continued success.

    Non chiamatelo uomo. Le “infoibate”: Norma Cossetto, le sorelle Radecchi

    Maria Teresa Infante(February 13, 2017)
    Pur condannando l’orrore – e non potrebbe essere altrimenti – di quanto di inumano e inconcepibile avvenne dal 1943 al ’45 nelle martoriate città agli estremi confini della nostra penisola, vorrei porre l’attenzione ancora una volta su alcune delle figure femminili, vittime tra le vittime. E non per preferenza sommaria verso un genere, ma per portare a conoscenza alcune delle innumerevoli storie in cui, per la sola colpa di essere donne, si muore più volte; e per dare loro un volto, uno fra le migliaia, restituendo una piccola parte di quella dignità rubata, saccheggiata, depredata, così come lo furono i loro corpi: carne da macello, scettro di un delirio di onnipotenza fallace.
