“We have been second-class citizens since 1938, and today we also lose our citizenship. Yet, in reality, this is mere hypocrisy – in reality we have also lost our right to live. The desperation of these days makes us remember the past: during the First World War my family was interned by the Austrians because they considered us politically suspicious, or rather ‘too Italian’; now, on the contrary, we are told that we are no longer Italian at all! Even though we have documents proving that my ancestors have lived in Gorizia since the XVI Century.”
