One of the consequences of the two world wars on the territory of Venezia Giulia (and partly that of Dalmatia) that should not be overlooked is the emergence of post-war violent interventions of the new occupying powers against civilians and prisoners of war. Starting in November 1918, the Italian authorities arrested and interned in the inner part of Italy a number of Slovenes and Croats, while retaining a number of Slovenes and Croats (former Austro-Hungarian soldiers) in captivity. About 25 years later, after the first of May 1945, Yugoslav authorities arrested and deported to the interior of Yugoslavia a certain number of Italians from the same area. At the same time they retained some of the former Italian prisoners of war and some from German captivity, captured during their transit through Yugoslavia. The author intends to highlight both moments of violence, which were not entirely overlooked by historiography, but have nevertheless not received the appropriate amount of attention.
