Giuliano-Dalmata is the 31st quartiere of Rome, identified by the initials Q. XXXI. Its name refers to the Julian, Istrian and Dalmatian refugees that settled there in the postwar period.

History

Born in the 1930s as Villaggio Operaio E42, to house the workers employed in the construction of the World Expo 42, and abandoned during the Second World War, in the postwar period the borough remained uninhabited, until in 1947 twelve families of julian refugees settled in the area around the current Piazza Giuliani e Dalmati and renamed the settlement Villaggio Giuliano.

The official inauguration of the new district took place on 7 November 1948, when the old workers dormitories were restored and readjusted for residential use, and consigned to the refugees, in the presence of the then Secretary of the Council of Ministers Giulio Andreotti and of Mrs. De Gasperi, the wife of the then Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi. During the ceremony, in the little chapel of the neighborhood it was celebrated the first wedding of the community, between Armando Chioggia, native of Fiume, and the Roman girl Fernanda Tombesi, symbolizing the union of the refugees with the local citizens.

In 1955, following to the coming of almost 2.000 refugees from Istria and Dalmatia, the quartiere took its current name.

Geography

The territory of the quarter includes the urban zone 12BVillaggio Giuliano and a great part of the urban zone 12ECecchignola. In the district is also located a frazione of Rome, the only one that is not included in the Agro Romano, namely Castello della Cecchignola.

Boundaries

To the north, Giuliano-Dalmata borders with Quartiere Ardeatino (Q. XX), from which is separated by Via di Vigna Murata.

Eastward, the quartiere borders with Zona Cecchignola (Z. XXII), from which is separated by the stretch of Via Ardeatina between Via di Vigna Murata and Via della Cecchignola and by Via della Cecchignola itself.

To the south, it borders with Zona Castel di Leva (Z. XXIII), whose boundary is marked by a portion of the Grande Raccordo Anulare.

Westward, Giuliano-Dalmata borders with Zona Fonte Ostiense (Z. XXIV) and with Quartiere Europa (Q. XXII), the border being outlined by Via Laurentina.

Odonymy

The majority of the streets and squares are dedicated to prominent Julian, Istrian and Dalmatian personalities and to historical events that occurred to that geographical area, e.g. Largo Vittime delle Foibe Istriane, Largo Eccidio di Malga Bala (commemorating twelve policemen of the GNR killed in 1944 by slovene partisans on the Malga Bala plateau) or Parco Caduti per Trieste (commemorating people killed by the Anglo-American police during an irredentist turmoil on 5 and 6 November 1953).

Cinema

The 1962 movie The Police Commissioner , by Alberto Sordi, was mainly shot in EUR and in Giuliano-Dalmata.

Part of the film Talcum Powder , by Carlo Verdone, was shot in Giuliano-Dalmata: the modern edifices of Via Elio Lampridio Cerva (Nadia's house), Via Veranzio (Rossella's house) and Piazza Bernardino Zamagna are recognizable. In a famous scene, the protagonist asks his wife where Via Lampridio Cerva is, being surprised by the unusual name.

The quarter has been the set of several other movies, such as 7 chili in 7 giorni , by Luca Verdone, starring Renato Pozzetto and Carlo Verdone, and Da grande , by Franco Amurri and starring Renato Pozzetto.

The Istrian–Dalmatian exodus was the post-World War II exodus and departure of local ethnic Italians as well as ethnic Slovenes, Croats, and Istro-Romanians from Yugoslavia. The emigrants, who had lived in the now Yugoslav territories of the Julian March, Kvarner and Dalmatia, largely went to Italy, but some joined the Italian diaspora in the Americas, Australia and South Africa. These regions were ethnically mixed, with long-established historic Croatian, Italian, and Slovene communities. After World War I, the Kingdom of Italy annexed Istria, Kvarner, the Julian March and parts of Dalmatia including the city of Zadar. At the end of World War II, under the Allies' Treaty of Peace with Italy, the former Italian territories in Istria, Kvarner, the Julian March and Dalmatia were assigned to the nation of Yugoslavia, except for the Province of Trieste. The former territories absorbed into Yugoslavia are part of present-day Croatia and Slovenia.

Dalmatian Italians are the historical Italian national minority living in the region of Dalmatia, now part of Croatia and Montenegro. Since the middle of the 19th century, the community, counting according to some sources nearly 20% of all Dalmatian population in 1840, suffered from a constant trend of decreasing presence and now, as a result of the Istrian-Dalmatian exodus, numbers only around 1,000–4,000 people. Throughout history, though small in numbers in the last two centuries, it exerted a vast and significant influence on the region.
