CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MILAN-BASED “CORRIERE DELLA SERA” IN THE EASTERN ADRIATIC (1933 – 1934) PART TWO
Ferruccio Canali

Sažetak
In the light of the authors’ and editors’ clear intent that has always subordinated
“travel literature” to specific geopolitical objectives, in 1933 the Milan-based
“Corriere della Sera” (the newspaper with the largest circulation in Italy at the time)
published a large set of articles thematically subdivided into three series: the first
series dedicated to the “Eastern Italian Coast” and its main resorts (Grado, Opatija
and the Brijuni) was penned by Salvatore Aponte; the second, focused on the
“Cities of Dalmatia” and the “Dalmatian Roman Heritage”, was authored by Giovan
Battista Angioletti; whereas the third series comprised two reports on the “Italian
Istria” (Poreč and Pula) written by Ugo Ojetti. The series entrusted to Angioletti
is particularly worth mentioning. It opened three days before the publication of
Salvatore Aponte’s final article on “The Brijuni” (19 September 1933), whose first
three analyses gave a comprehensive overview of the geopolitical vision of an
“Expanded” Dalmatia in conformity with the view of the Italian government (the
“Italian Dalmatia” of Zadar and the “desired” Split, Šibenik, Dubrovnik…). This
general “identification” was followed by in-depth analyses of the “Italian Zadar”
and “Šibenik”. Even within the framework of “travelogue genre”, these reports
revealed the political purpose or at least implied “a precise vision” of the “Dalmatian
question”, whereas the information provided served to prepare and bend the Italian
public opinion towards specific attitudes, using Italian “travel” literature in Dalmatia
or specialised research on Dalmatian monuments and art and that had become
well-structured following the First World War.
