]]> In Lonjer, a then entirely Slovenian village on the outskirts of Trieste, the fascist authorities interned six Roma and Sinti between September 1940 and September 1943. The fascists confined them there after the Italian Ministry of the Interior ordered all prefects on September 11, 1940, to register Roma who were citizens of Italy and to confine those without permanent residence.

This fact as well as others were presented by Paola Trevisan in the Gopčević Palace. The historian and anthropologist dedicated her first scientific monograph to the persecution of Roma and Sinti in fascist Italy, which she presented in Trieste as part of the events marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. The author was interviewed by historian Michele Sarfatti.

]]> The article depicts what they call the “Italian Sinti mirror scam”. In this case, the Carabinieri were driving, when they noticed two cars pulled over on the side of the road, with their respective drivers in a heated argument. A young 19-year-old – with a criminal record – allegedly ordered the other driver, a 62-year-old, to stop for alleged damage he had caused while driving. He wanted 350 euros, to end it there, refusing to proceed through insurance channels, as the 62-year-old wanted, who was convinced he had not been involved in any road accident.

]]> A Seminar to remember the Holocaust of the Roma and Sinti will be held on November 22 in Agnone on and aims to shed light on a dark chapter in European history, too often forgotten: the Genocide of the Roma and Sinti. Agnone is the town where from 1941 to 1943 Roma and Sinti were interned in the San Bernardino concentration camp

The program of the seminar includes a series of events ranging from visits to historical sites to conferences held by experts in the field. It will start on November 22 with a visit to the former Convent of San Bernardino, a place of memory that during the Second World War saw the internment of 150 Roma and Sinti. In the afternoon, at the Municipality of Agnone, a conference will be held with the participation of historians, activists and representatives of the Roma and Sinti communities.

This control focused on the Roma Camp in Via Candoni, which, according to the article is notoriously known as one of the hotbeds of crime in the capital. The intervention is part of a broader context of the fight against illegal activities, aiming to restore perceived and real security in the surrounding community. The operation involved an important identification action, during which 184 people of Romanian and Bosnian origin were registered, including 42 minors.
