History and tradition

This section develops many different topics of great interest to I.R.C.I. such as the different aspects of the exodus that forced many people to abandon their hometowns under nationalistic pressure; the historical document written by the Italo-Slovene Commission, which is absolutely unreliable, because full of omissions, one-sided and misleading; the ethnic cleansing carried out against the Italian population after 1945, charged of fascism even in these territories; the traditional male and female clothing; the preservation and support of cemetery monuments in the Istrian-Fiuman-Dalmatian area; advertising campaigns and the artists that created them; the local trade businesses of the time.
I.R.C.I. has always used an anthropological approach in the rediscovery of every aspect of the Istrian heritage, including music, literature, dialectology, folklore, sport, nature, arts and crafts. Each of these elements is given the deserved attention and interest, thus contributing to the survival of the Istrian culture and its people. A population forced to abandon their native land, scattered across all continents, victims of a cruel fate.
