The great Julian-Dalmatian champions
The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia presents
SO FAR SO CLOSE
ADALBERTO SCEMMA TELLS THE STORIES OF THE GREAT GIULIANO DALMATIAN CHAMPIONS
They are all great champions, sports people, accustomed to hard work, sacrifice and success.
They all come from an enchanted strip of land, kissed by the sun and the sea, but mortified by history, by ill-fated pacts and by the painful experience of exile.
All of them have honored the roots of their land, all of them, so far away and yet ideally always so close to their roots, have honored sport in its maximum expression.
These are their stories.
