The tourist impact of Gorizia European Capital of Culture
With the European Capital of Culture in 2025, hundreds of thousands of tourists will arrive and we will not only have to be able to welcome them adequately but also to amaze them so that they return in subsequent years. For this reason, we must deploy all our best resources, from operators in the hospitality sector to restaurateurs, from real estate agencies to cultural, sports and leisure associations. And then, in cascade, all the entities with which to create synergies to give our territory that true tourist dimension that heralds quantitative and qualitative economic growth. This keeping in mind that Gorizia, on this occasion, will be the center of gravity of a...
Gorizia, heroes without borders
In many areas on the border between Italy and Slovenia, there was - finally - a climate of osmosis. The measures introduced to limit the pandemic changed everything. Neither Rome nor Ljubljana were too worried. But there were those who, with creativity, "took the field" in favor of the complexity, interests and relationships of the cross-border areas. It was a schizophrenic year on the eastern border. The pandemic erased many of the certainties of a population that had begun to believe that the border no longer existed. On the one hand, comforting signals arrived from Gorizia, where local administrators did everything they could to continue to...

Gorizia European Capital of Remembrance
The Day of Remembrance is not only intended to commemorate the victims of the massacres committed by Tito's communist partisans, but also a moment of reflection on the centuries-old presence of Italianness in the eastern Adriatic, as well as a perspective on the future of this border region: the city of Gorizia embodies all these elements. This conviction emerged at the end of a video call between the mayor of the Julian capital Rodolfo Ziberna and Giuseppe de Vergottini, President of the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles and of Coordinamento Adriatico APS, an association that deals with research and in-depth analysis...
Gorizia European Capital of Culture 2025 together with Nova Gorica
WITH THE CAPITAL OF CULTURE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH FOR OUR CITY It was a difficult challenge, really. Because becoming the European Capital of Culture is not a game, you have to present a strong proposal, capable of convincing an international jury. We beat very strong opponents like Ljubljana and Piran and we succeeded thanks to the uniqueness of our territory, our border. Neither Gorizia nor Nova Gorica, alone, for different reasons, could have done it. But what will happen now? Now there are many projects to develop, in the territory, which will contribute to relaunching the economy and employment, a bit like what happened in Matera. There will be...
