Fiume - Rijeka - 1905-1945

This video is a slide show of the city of Fiume Italy from 1905-1945. Today the city is named Rijeka situated in the northern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. The video is accompanied by 3 Italian melodies of that time. Chiesetta Alpina by Lidia Percan; Tornerai by Luciano Virgili and Piemontesina by Lidia Percan. These picture were sent to me in 1997 and decided to use this medium to make them public.
On one of the slides it is written ``fox music`` it should be ``folk music``
A picture is worth 1000 words, so they say, but some or all of those words differ for each of you.
Please refrain from commenting on political issues, it is just a video and some wonderful melodies. That is all!

Dear friends, Im born and I live in Rijeka. Im a Croat. The thing is that we all have to learn that it is not important what nationality we have or what color we are. Important is tolerance and that is the reason Rijeka was not burning in the war. Rijeka is the best city in Croatia just because we have so many different people and we get along just fine. . Rijeka is not Italian or Croatian, it is the city of people of Rijeka so do not put filthy politics or nationality inside its walls.

lipa je Rika, a najlipše je to ča nas ima od svuderi, Rika je lipa zato jer nema nacionalizma i oni ki ga pokušavaju staviti u taj grad, neka uopće ne ulaze u Riku, moremo mi i bez vas... ima i Hrvata, Fiumana, Talijana, Srba, Bosanaca, Istrijana, Hercegovaca... Čuvajte raznolikost, da se nebi pretvorili u jedan onaj homogeni grad kao ča već postoje negdje u Hrvatskoj, a zna se kadi je to!...

TUTTA l istria e la dalmazia almeno dovevano essere indipendenti sia della croazia,slovenia e anche dall italia.

almeno nessuno si sarebbe lamentato

@manarutd in your wildest dream and I don't even think it will be either it was Italian and it'll always be at least in our heart, you can't cancel history .

The majority population was Italian, it has decreased now, as Tito's partisan chased away the Italian folks, what the fascist did it to you country you got my apologies, nevertheless the Tito's partisan commited more criminal action than fascist and nazi together. they`d have punished the one 2 blame not the innnocent families.

@2cosmo3 I hope they will get their property back. Live free, forget the flag, we are all one...

@bazdard Annexation of Fiume as a Croatian province had been planed for centuries by the ever changing administrations, but it never happened. Fiumani did not want it! The great ethnic mix in the city had only one thing in common, they “all” spoke FIUMAN .. NOT Riekan!! In 1945, wasn’t the will of the people, but the will of Tito made it Croatian. Fiumani scattered around the world serve as testimony of that. In a united EU,  will they be able to claim back, property that was theirs?

[icamescope]

Niente da far....Rijeka o Fiume (piu musicale come nome) ha un certo colore tipicamene italiano. Ne Croatia ne Italia, d'accordo ma...il nesso e obvio....!

[tatadeno]

Rijeka has become Italy's 1924th on the basis of an agreement between Rome and Belgrade. City of Rijeka was under Austro-Ungeria 1905.

I miei nonni erano fiumani ma ora sono morti. Faccio il mio graduate work sul Fiume e ho interesse di parlare con i fiumani che sono rimasti. Io vorrei tanto se possibile .... paralare con gli esuli della Venezia Giulia. Queste storie dobbiamo conservare e condividere con il mondo! E' molto difficile ma continuo a perseverare a cercare Fiumani. Per piacere condividere la Sua Storia. Mi puo' scrivere a : Swimtori82@yahoo.com
