Works



"A tragedy revealed"


Petacco's masterwork is the historical essay L'esodo: la tragedia negata d'Istria, Dalmazia e Venezia Giulia 1942–1956[5] published in 1999 and later translated in several languages. The English edition was published in 2005 under the title A tragedy revealed: the story of the Italian population of Istria, Dalmatia, and Venezia Giulia, 1942–1956,[6] and had immediately a great success. Exposing in the book one of the great atrocities of our time, Petacco gives voice in a very touching way to the suffering of a people who were rejected and denied by their own country. Those who survived are validated by the historical and personal accounts presented in the book.
