DINO MESSINA

Author of the book 'Italiani Due Volte', a work about Italians who remained in Istria, Rijeka, and Dalmatia and the subsequent exoduses and foibe.

The reviewed book, Italiani Due Volte by Dino Messina, focuses on Italians who remained in Istria, Rijeka and Dalmatia after WWII and the successive waves of exodus. Written with a journalistic, divulgative tone rather than strict academic rigor, it highlights the foibe, war crimes, and treaties that shaped the expulsions. The reviewer finds it a useful, awakening read for those unfamiliar with this chapter of twentieth‑century history.

For:Readers of 20th-century Italian history, students of post-war Europe, and those interested in the foibe and Istrian/Dalmatian exoduses.
