Contea: scents of European culture

The event is organized by the Municipality of Gorizia in collaboration with Pro Loco, Etnos, and the Borgo San Rocco Traditions Center, with the support of the Region and Promoturismo FVG, to celebrate the anniversary of the County of Gorizia, whose name was first officially mentioned on April 28, 1001, in a document in which Emperor Otto III donated the Castle of Salcano and the "villa that in the Slavic language is called Gorica," half of which to the Patriarch of Aquileia and the other half to Count Guariento of Friuli.

From Saturday, April 25th to Wednesday, April 29th, a series of events for all ages and tastes will take place in the city's most evocative locations. Admission is strictly free, thanks in part to collaboration with various associations. The aim is to learn more about the figures and events that have shaped our lands over the centuries, making them one of the most significant settings in European history and today a laboratory for peace.
