‘Oltreconfine Ungaretti’ is a cross-border cultural project between Italian-speaking and Slovene-speaking communities, on the creation of a shared historical, cultural and landscape memory and imagery, with the intention of investigating, collecting and recounting in theatrical form the human and poetic life of Giuseppe Ungaretti in the period 1914-1919, as it evolved through the terrible experience of the Great War, starting from the poems that the poet wrote in territories that today belong to Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighbouring Slovenia.
