The text, published with the support of the Veneto Region and the General Directorate of Libraries and Cultural Institutions of the Ministry of Culture and sponsored by the State Archives of Belluno, the Anpi, and 23 municipalities as well as the province of Belluno, is presented, also in its graphic form, as the natural continuation of the project initiated years ago by the Historical Institute of Belluno, which first emerged in the publication of the volume The Courage and Passion. Partisans and Patriots Recognized in Belluno and Belluno Soldiers Recognized as Partisans Abroad, edited by Franco Comin and Silvia Comin under the scientific direction of Enrico Bacchetti, Diego Cason, and Adriana Lotto.
The volume reconstructs the history of the resistance movement that operated across the provinces of Belluno and Treviso, drawing on sources almost exclusively archival, from the State Archives of Belluno to the Central State Archive in Rome (Fondo Ricompart), to the Archives of the Historical Resistance Institutes of Belluno and Vittorio Veneto, and to the Center for the History of the Resistance and Contemporary Age at the University of Padua.
Published and recorded testimonies from the protagonists and the specific literature are also used.
In particular, the first part focuses on the birth of the five formations active in the territory of the Left Piave from Cansiglio to Monte Grappa, their actions, their political and military relations, their relationship with Allied missions, and partisan justice.
The second part consists of approximately 1500 profiles of partisans, patriots, collaborators, and distinguished individuals.
The third part also collects significant documents produced by the formations during the twenty months of struggle.
The event is organized in collaboration with the Municipality of Limana, the Tina Merlin Association, and Anpi.
Free entry.
