A manifestation of people’s will

Recollections of Gorizia in the year 1946

Abstract

In the contribution, the author deals with the formation of recollection on the territory with a special emphasis on the description of events in the first year of liberation. The principal events and recollections of them are studies in a broader social frame, which includes an outline of the present view of the Gorizia region as a territory that contains an interlaced historical tradition of two identities cohabiting on that ground. The interpretation of the complexity of relations in the space is given in the light of events that created it, and recollections that parted it.
