Karte des Königreichs Italien am 1. Juli 1943

Obviously, the map of regions and their provincial subdivisions does not fully reflect the administrative division of Italy today, since certain provinces have been created or merged within the same region over time.
Regarding the western part, only Trieste remained Italian; the rest was incorporated into Yugoslavia under Marshal Tito, which in turn was divided, with the fall of Yugoslavia into Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro.

Can anyone explain why Lucania became Basilicata?

I am from Slovenia and my grand-grandfather came from Italy to work in our city. He died in the second world war, so my grandfather never really met him.

In general there were a lot of Italians who stayed in our city even after Italy capitulated and left. We had another Italian girl in our family, she was my grandmother’s brother’s wife I believe.

Croatia were „independent“, not independent.
