The Tagliamento creates amazement.

The color inside and outside the water, its impetuous or solitary nature, the frames that it draws together with the Alpine arch.

However, it is his encounter with the plain that transforms him, hides him, makes him impenetrable, mysterious.

What becomes invisible to the eye becomes a germinating womb; from the depths of that womb springs the vital force of a dizzying and primordial song, fierce and sacred, pure.

It is a mother river, a feminine presence and an archetypal symbol of Friuli.

To the mystery of that river we sing a two-voiced song, to the creative force that originates from that dark impenetrability, to its being the initiator of life.

The cross-border project Male čebele for GO!2025 is led by the Municipality of Stregna and partners include the Municipality of San Floriano del Collio, the comprehensive school with Slovenian teaching language of Gorizia, the Osnovna šola Frana Erjavca Nova Gorica, the Soc. Coop.

Altreforme and the Kanal-Brda Beekeeping Association.
