La nave del ritorno (The Ship of Return) brings to the stage one of the most painful and least known chapters in Italian history: the tragedy of the foibe and the forced exodus of the Istrians, Fiumani and Dalmatians.
At the end of the Second World War, thousands of Italians were forced to abandon their homes, their lands and their loved ones, victims of violence and persecution.
The term foibe, which originally refers to natural cavities in limestone terrain, has become a symbol of the massacres perpetrated for ethnic and political reasons against the Italian population of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia by Tito's Yugoslav communist partisans. The bodies of hundreds of victims, mostly Italian citizens, along with some Slovenians and Croats, were thrown into these abysses in a tragedy that deeply shook those lands.
