Gorizia lace gains visibility
During the 8th century, numerous religious orders settled and consolidated in Gorizia: the Ursulines arrived in Gorizia on the evening of April 1672, XNUMX, coming from the monastery in Vienna but originally from Liège. Their mission was not only to establish a monastery, but above all to devote themselves to the education of girls from very different social classes. The education provided included, in addition to the practices of piety, catechism, reading, and writing, embroidery and lacemaking. The art of the Ursulines was embodied in perfect embroidery created using the needlepoint technique, in which silk threads of different colors juxtaposed...
Gorizia Castle, reopened and renovated
The goal is high but, according to the numbers, not unattainable. The threshold of 100 thousand visitors in a year to the castle of Gorizia, now that it has reopened after two years of closure, could become a reality even before the European Capital of Culture 2025. It is very difficult to register them already this year, but the will of the municipal administration is to double the influx of 50 thousand tickets sold before the pandemic. In the meantime, this morning the party was all for the reopening and will continue in the afternoon. A large delegation of institutions, councilors, city and regional councilors and the first tourists took part in the preview tour of the premises...
Marino Pace, Prefect of Gorizia after September 8th
Franco Miccoli's book published by the Regional Institute for the History of the Resistance and the Contemporary Age reconstructs the figure of the nobleman who governed the city from '43 to '45. Appointed by the Germans as Prefect of Gorizia (which was part of the Adriatic Coast Occupation Zone), Count Marino Pace took an autonomous position, opposing Nazi interference and emerging unsullied from the trial for collaborationism that he underwent at the end of the war.

Gorizia, the border becomes a bridge
The daily newspaper Repubblica dedicated an article to Gorizia on Saturday, January 22, focusing on the profound synergies that have existed for years between the capital of the Isonzo and Nova Gorica. The border set by the Peace Treaty of February 10, 1947 in such a way as to separate the center of Gorizia from its eastern outskirts has lost so much meaning that not only has a European Grouping of Cross-border Cooperation (EGTC) developed among the most virtuous in the European Union, but Nova Gorica has even won, by presenting a joint candidacy with Gorizia, the qualification of European Capital of Culture 2025 representing Slovenia. Repubblica -...
Gorizia: the history, our future
Seeing our territory at the center of national and international news not for the events of the past but for those of the future truly represents a historic turning point for Gorizia. Because this is the message that the two presidents Mattarella and Pahor present today in our land wanted to give: Gorizia and Nova Gorica represent the best Europe, the one that fights to build a tomorrow full of opportunities for its people, for young people, overcoming divisions and resentments. This is the point, not sterile speeches and good intentions but far-reaching projects, such as the European Capital of Culture, which will lead to a great turning point, also economic for the entire territory....

Broom Sunday, August 13, 1950
We propose an article by Annamaria Crasti whom we thank for the kind concession on the “Sunday of the brooms” an event that took place in August 1950. Many Gorizians who remained in Tito's Yugoslavia crossed the border not only to embrace relatives, friends but they made a lot of purchases and the best-selling item in the new Gorizia was a broom made of sorghum. «We are in Gorizia. It is August 13, 1950. Since February 10, 1947, the Gorizia of always no longer exists. Cruelly, as decided by the Peace Treaty, on the night between September 14 and 15, 1947 the city found itself divided. The inhabitants of some areas of the city cannot sleep that night: they feel,...
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.

This keeping in mind that Gorizia, on this occasion, will be the center of gravity of a...
The monumental area of Mount Sabotino
Mount Sabotino, the northern bastion of the Austro-Hungarian bridgehead of Gorizia, represented a key point on the Isonzo front from the beginning of the Italo-Austrian war of 1915-18. An extraordinary fortress in stone, this relief still shows valuable evidence of the ars fortificatoria practiced first by the Austro-Hungarian technical units and, after August 1916, by the Italian ones who transformed it into a real underground bulwark. This volume in the series “Archeologia di guerra” offers the public a tool for understanding the fascinating metamorphosis of a mountain that, due to its war history, entered into myth...
On June 2, 46, the people of Giulianova, Fiume and Zadar were unable to vote.
Of the 573 seats of the Constituent Assembly to be assigned and provided for by the Legislative Decree of the Lieutenant n. 74 of 10 March 1946, in reality only 556 were assigned, the 13 foreseen for the XII District (Trieste and Venezia Giulia – Zara) being missing, in addition to the 5 of the province of Bolzano. With a further Decree of the Lieutenant, only six days later, it was deemed impossible to hold elections in those border lands, due to the international situation. The founding moment of the Italian State emerging from the rubble of the conflict therefore took place without involving the citizens residing in lands that, until the deliberations...
