Demetrio Volcic (22 November 1931 – 5 December 2021), also known in Slovene as Dimitrij Volčič, was an Italian journalist, author, and politician of Slovenian descent.

[2] His parents were Slovene political immigrants from the Italian-administered Julian March who had moved to Yugoslavia in order to avoid the repressive policies of Fascist Italianization.

Despite coming from a Roman Catholic background, his parents sent him to a Serbian Orthodox elementary school in Ljubljana.

After the end of World War II, his parents moved back to Trieste, where Dimitrij finished a Slovene language high school.

He wrote regular columns for the Primorski dnevnik, the Slovene language daily newspaper of Trieste.
