Abstract

Political inscriptions in nature in the Gorizia region belong to three periods. The first phase belongs to the time of the formation of the Yugoslav-Italian border after World War II. The second period belongs to the time of the preparations for a rally on Okroglica at Nova Gorica in 1953 and remained in the preparation phase. The third period of the origin of inscriptions reaches into the years 1977 and 1978 and is part of an intense socialist political propaganda characteristic of that time. The inscriptions are as well a reflection of the cult of the personality of Josip Broz Tito. In the first phase the inscriptions were combined of FLRJ and TITO; later only TITO and NAŠ TITO respectively remained.
