Return and stay, or not? Venezia Giulia at the end of the First World War and the case of women without the right of residenceBajc, Gorazd (Avtor) Venezia GiuliaTrieste1918-1919womenthe right of residencepolitical violenceBased on an analysis of documents preserved in the Trieste State Archives, this article describes the difficulties faced by the civilian population in the Venezia Giulia region at the end of the First World War. In particular, it examines the challenges encountered by women who did not have the right of residence (pertinenza) in the region and were therefore denied permission to return or remain. With the occupation of Venezia Giulia by the Italian army at the beginning of November 1918, the new authorities sought to control repatriation and implemented strict measures against various categories of civilians to prevent the resettlement of undesirable or potentially dangerous individuals. At the same time, those considered harmful to the occupation were required to leave the area. The status of non-pertinenza was thus very useful for the new authorities in preventing the repatriation of former refugee women or in stopping unwanted women from remaining in the region.Routledge20252025-12-19 03:18:14Znanstveno delo96329UDK: 94(497.1)"1989"COBISS_ID: 262125315DOI: 10.1080/1354571X.2025.2573576ISSN pri članku: 1469-9583sl
