I ricordi di Fiume

At 7:59 am the time was stopped by. The clock fixed the second in which their life changed for ever. They were extremely tied to Fiume, their birthplace. They have been banished, expelled from there for ever. They become refugee in the same land who left behind. They carried away only some things: a violin, a concertina and a Fiume’s picture to remember how the city was. They were lucky, because escape the tragic event of the “Foibe”, even if they cried over their homeland. The sound of the musical instruments mitigated the melancholy and helped them to survive.
