La région Vénétie Julienne, située dans l’extrême nord-est de l’Italie, a traversé de nombreuses périodes de crise, au cours du XXème siècle et en particulier durant les deux guerres mondiales. Ces crises ont été si graves qu’elles ont entraîné des variations significatives du tracé des frontières avec des territoires qui appartenaient, totalement ou seulement en partie, à d’autres Etats. Ces nouveaux tracés ont causé de nombreux mouvements de population, notamment celui qui a suivi le démembrement de la Vénétie Julienne à la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Ce démembrement a provoqué un exode significatif d’Italiens installés depuis des siècles sur ces territoires: une diaspora qui est aujourd’hui encore au centre de débats autour du nombre de personnes concernées. Nous avons examiné le phénomène en analysant le Recensement secret de la population résidant dans le Royaume d’Italie et étant de langue maternelle différente de l’italien, recensement qui date de 1939 et qui est basé sur le Recensement Général de la Population de 1936. Cette statistique, restée confidentielle jusqu’à 1998, n’a été découverte que récemment et provient d’une copie d’un microfilm conservé dans les Archives Nationales de Washington, D. C. (USA).
The “Venezia Giulia” region, placed at the north eastern Italian border, during the XX century and particularly during the two world wars has been involved in several situations of strong crisis so as to produce significant border variations with territories which, fully or partially, were pertaining to different States. Several population movements occurred, and hereunder we want to recall that one resulting from dismemberment of “Venezia Giulia”, at the end of World War Two. This dismemberment has caused a significant exodus of Italians from the territories of their historical settling-down: a diaspora that is still a matter of debate about the number of people involved. We studied the phenomenon analysing the “General Census of population speaking different language from Italian resident in the Kingdom of Italy”, of 1939, based on census surveys of 1936.

Abstract
The “Venezia Giulia” region, placed at the north eastern Italian border, during the XX century and particularly during the two world wars has been involved in several situations of strong crisis so as to produce significant border variations with territories which, fully or partially, were pertaining to different States. Several population movements occurred, and hereunder we want to recall that one resulting from dismemberment of “Venezia Giulia”, at the end of World War Two. This dismemberment has caused a significant exodus of Italians from the territories of their historical settling-down: a diaspora that is still a matter of debate about the number of people involved. We studied the phenomenon analysing the “General Census of population speaking different language from Italian resident in the Kingdom of Italy”, of 1939, based on census surveys of 1936. This recently acquired statistical source was kept secret, as far as the involved number is concerned, until 1998, and it derives from a copy on microfilm stored in the National Archives of Washington.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
