Lidia Motika was born of ethnic Italian parentage in Pula, a fortified seaport at the southwestern tip of the peninsula, in the immediate aftermath of World War II. As part of the Italian region of Venezia Giulia since 1920, the city had been called Pola, but along with Lidia's maiden name, Matticchio, the place name was changed by law when Istria was annexed by Yugoslavia.
