The Guardian published an article
today about Gorizia and Nova Gorica, twin border towns reunited
in Italy and Slovenia as European capitals of culture. Gorizia
was divided in 1947 between Italy and Slovenia, and the two
towns will reunite next year as the European Capital of Culture,
according to the newspaper. From February 2025, an ambitious
programme of 600 diverse events - including music, dance, art,
theatre, cinema, sport, fashion, ecology, and cuisine - will
reflect this "borderless" theme.
The article emphasises that "Gorizia is one of those rare hidden
gems that is simply not on the radar of most tourists, or even
most Italians," and lists a number of tourist destinations on
both sides of the border.
