History
Dane is a place where Slovene civilian hostages were killed and photographed by Italian soldiers on 31 July 1942 after the annexation by Fascist Italy, like in many other villages in the Province of Ljubljana, at the time a common policy ordered by the Mario Roatta in his "Circolare 3C." The photo has been claimed several times by the Italian media (most recently in a 2012 talk show broadcast by the Italian state-owned TV station RAI, which caused a diplomatic protest from the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) as manipulated and false evidence to the contrary (i.e., Slovene partisans killing Italian civilians) in the context of foibe remembrance day in Italy.
