Antonella Ruggiero and Vlado Kreslin for GO! 2025 (concert)

On 25 October 2025, at 20:30, Kulturni dom Gorica will host a concert by Antonella Ruggiero and Vlado Kreslin for GO! 2025.

The concert will once again prove that music can transcend all borders and differences, connecting different cultures and identities. Legendary Italian singer Antonella Ruggiero will enchant us with her refinement and emotional depth, while singer-songwriter Vlado Kreslin is known as one of the most recognizable Slovenian artists. Together, they will present a repertoire that unites the musical traditions from both sides of the border, creating a dialogue between two different yet related cultures. Among the most symbolic songs is undoubtedly Pozdravljena, soseda (Ciao, vicina cara, Hello, Dear Neighbour), written by Vlado Kreslin for Antonella Ruggiero and translated into Italian by Edoardo De Angelis. This gentle song symbolizes good neighborly relations and intercultural respect. The concert speaks to the European spirit of Gorizia and Nova Gorica, serving as a bridge between the past and the future, between local and universal identity. It demonstrates how art contributes to world peace and fosters dialogue among nations.

• Antonella Ruggiero, vocals,
