Luca G. Manenti - scientific director of the "Manlio Cecovini Study Society" -
will be one of the speakers at the study conference "Italians in Austria-Hungary at the Sunset of the Empire: Politics" organised on 22 and 23 March in Trento by the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino, with the contribution of the Institute for Social and Religious History in Gorizia and in collaboration with the Austrian Historical Institute in Rome.
Manenti's talk, entitled
"The bourgeoisie and the liberal-national party in Trieste between the 19th and 20th centuries", has been included in the Saturday morning session (from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and will focus on the profile of the liberal-national party that ruled the Municipality of Trieste between the 19th and 20th centuries, a cultural reference point for that part of the citizenship that nurtured feelings of attachment to Italy.
The difficult balance between national aspirations and economic interests, given the Adriatic port's dependence on German capital, was the constant of a non-monolithic socio-political group, whose composition, projects and concrete actions will be investigated, from public intervention to Masonic relations.
"The Italians of Austria-Hungary in the Sunset of the Empire: Politics" is scheduled for Friday 22 and Saturday 23 March at "Le Gallerie" (Piazza di Piedicastello, 38122 Trento TN). For further information contact the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino by telephoning
