LABIN - Još prije više od dvadeset godina govorilo se da će ondašnje radničko sveučilište u Labinu dobiti ime najpoznatije Labinjanke Giuseppine Martinuzzi, po kojoj su inače nazvani Talijanska osnovna škola u Puli i labinska Zajednica Talijana.

U to vrijeme labinski su prosvjetari na svojim godišnjim susretima dijelili i nagrade s njenim imenom, ali nakon pada socijalizma ona je na neko vrijeme pala u potpuni zaborav. Ipak, prije nekoliko godina na talijanskom jeziku objavljena je njena poema »Nepravda«, a u projektu obnove Narodnog muzeja u Labinu spominje se i uređenje zbirke te poznate prosvjetne radnice, humanistkinje, ljevičarke, borca za prava radnika, velike prijateljice rudara, ali zagovornice suživota istarskih Talijana i Hrvata.

U skladu s takvim svjetonazorom surađivala je i s hrvatskim novinama u Zagrebu, a iako je cijeli radni vijek provela izvan Labina, u Galižani i najviše u Trstu, posljednja želja Giuseppine Marije Sandre Martinuzzi [vidi note] bila je da se njeno tijelo, uz pratnju rudara i njihovu baklju, položi u labinsku zemlju. Dogodilo se to 25. studenog 1925., prije nepunih 80 godina, a ta bi obljetnica bila vrlo dobar povod za ostvarenje starog nauma da jedna labinska obrazovna ustanova, u ovom slučaju Pučko otvoreno učilište, nosi ime uzorne učiteljice i žene, čija se rodna kuća nalazi u starogradskom predjelu zvanom Kalić ili Rialto. Bila bi to još jedna potvrda da Labinjani štuju svoje znamenite povijesne ličnosti.

Initiative for the 80th anniversary of the death of the most famous woman from Labin

Workers university to be named Giuseppina Martinuzzi

LABIN – More than 20 year ago there was talk that the worker's university that was planned at that time in Labin would get the name of the most famous woman from Labin, Giuseppina Martinuzzi, who's name also carry an Italian elementary school in Pula and the Italian association in Labin (Albona).

At that time the educators from Labin on their yearly gatherings were getting awards named in her name, but after the fall of socialism, she was completely forgotten. But, several years ago her poem in Italian "Injustice" was published in conjunction with restoration of the museum in Labin where they are planning an exhibit of a collection of works of this famous educator, humanitarian worker, fighter for the rights of workers, a great friend of the coal miners and a promoter of coexistence between Italians and Croats in Istria.

Because of her international views she cooperated with the Croatian newspapers in Zagreb, and even though she spent most of her working life outside Labin; in Galizana and mostly in Trieste, the last wish of Giuseppina Maria Sandra Martinuzzi [see note] was that her body be placed in Labin's soil with the accompaniment of the coalminers and their torches. This happened on 25 of November 1925, 80 years ago, and this would be a good time for one of the Labin's educational institutions, in this case the People's Open University, to carry the name of this exemplary woman and teacher, whose birth home is located in the old part of town called Rialto. This would be one more proof that the people of Labin honor their important historical personages.
