Commemoration ceremonies for the dead were held in the Consulate General of Italy in Rijeka, in the morning in Pula and in the afternoon in Rijeka, with the participation of associations of exiles from Pula and Rijeka.
Already on 31 October, the Consulate General had organised the laying of wreaths on the graves of the five Garibaldians and at the monument dedicated to the grenadiers at the Rijeka cemetery in Cosala.
Today began with Holy Mass in Pula Cathedral, followed by the laying of wreaths at the Navy cemetery and then at the civil cemetery on Monte Giro.
There was a similar programme in Rijeka, with Holy Mass at the Church of St Romuald and All Saints, and a commemoration ceremony at the crypt of the Cosala cemetery. Consul General Iva Palmieri took part in the entire programme, accompanied on the Pula stage by Honorary Consul Tiziano Sosic.
