The paper presents new, yet unpublished documents from the now opened Vatican archives (Archivo Segreto Vaticano) for the period of Pius XI. It presents a completely new view of the complicated issues which can now be monitored directly through documents from the office Congregation for Extraordinary Affairs (Affari Ecclesiastici straordinari). This paper describes the fate of Trieste Bishop Andrej Karlin, who resigned due to the pressure of irredentists and occupator’s authorities in 1919, the time of his successor Angelo Bartolomassi, who resigned in 1922, the position of Bishop Alojzij Fogar and his forced resignation in 1936, and further development of the Diocese of Trieste until the beginning of World War II.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1536249028The paper examines the ideological markers of space through memorials and commemorative related practices that were common in Trieste and its surroundings after the World War I. Special attention is paid to the question of how the language and concepts of Italian nationalism and irredentism were embodied in the artefacts of memory, which played an important ideological function in the newly incorporated regions defined as " liberated territories " ( terre redente ) . The analysis focuses on sites such as “svetilnik zmage “ (Lighthouse of Victory) , the largest lighthouse in the Adriatic , built in 1927 as a symbol of victory over Austria- Hungary and the bringer of light ( an enlightened sense) for the entire region , Trieste University , by the nationalist rhetoric represented as a "fortress " of Italian civilization, Park of Memory that was after World War I settled next to the castle of San Giusto and the city's cathedral , and a fountain in the form of a stylized fascist beam, which rises above the Trieste market Goldoni , set in 1938 when Mussolini was visiting the town . With the present analysis, we have contributed to the understanding of the role of representation of the past and to understand the different policies of remembrance, which were implemented in the interwar period in Trieste.
