Preservation of the identity of an exiled population and Architecture: the settlements built for Italian exiles from Istria, Fiume, Dalmatia after the IIWW

After IIWW, many settlements (Borghi - i.e. Villages - Giuliani) were designed and built in Italy for the Italian exiles from Istria, Fiume, and Dalmatia. For their construction, standard projects and procedures were followed. Many characteristics of the cities and villages of origin of these displaced communities were replicated to promote the preservation of memories, religion, and family and social life. This paper aims to present the results of research that led to the documentation of over a hundred interventions.
