After the Rapallo peace treaty (1920) faded away old political border. Especially after 1922 began Italian state with politics of border fascism repression towards the local population. This process caused transformation of ethnical borders and its adaptation to political one. Along with different anti-regime actions of secret Christian-socialist organisation is one of its members apparently proposed original idea to picture the »lost« ethnical border in region of national-political struggle. In book author analyses motifs of several church paintings pictured by Tone Kralj. He was author of paintings in almost 50 churches. Typical motifs of Kralj’s paintings are ideological elements as anti-fascism, irredentism and Slovenian national motifs, which are integrated in biblical narration of fresco paintings. This phenomenon “of ideological marking” is unique in Europe due to its systematic religious-pictorial cover of ethnically border area. In book author analyses phenomena of this unique border “story” in several historical and art-historical perspectives.

This paper discusses fascism’s influence on Slovenian society, in particular clerical fascism and the so-called il fascismo di confine – the phenomenon characteristic of the multiethnic border region of Julian March. In his critical analysis of individual theses developed in Slovenian historiography, the author argues that fascism did not crucially influence pre-war political development in Slovenia. Consequently, the key to understanding the reasons behind the collaboration of the majority of its pre-war political establishment with the Axis forces of occupation during the World War II lie elsewhere. According to the author, the main reason for this collaborationism was not ideological - i.e. so-called clerical fascism - but was instead based on the commonly held yet erroneous conviction among Slovenia’s pre-war political classes that Hitler's Germany would emerge victorious from the war.

In the article the author discusses the view of nuncio in Yugoslavia (1922–1937) Ermenegildo Pellegrinetti on the minority issues in the Julian March. Nuncio’s diary has been used as a primary source with the aim to include Pellegrinetti’s personal actions and opinion of nationalism, irredentism and “terrorism” in this borderland in the context of five events: the judicial process in Pula (1929), the First Trieste process (1930), archbishop Antun Bauer’s pastoral letter (1931) and the forced resignations of archbishop Frančišek B. Sedej (1931) and bishop Luigi Fogar (1936). If we can argue that nuncio attained considerable measure of “objectivity” in relation to national issues, he was much more biased towards the politics of the Holy See.
