Enea Silvio Piccolomini: Between the Alps and the Adriatic

Presentation of the book by Anja Božič and Jan Dominik Bogataj exploring the life and legacy of Enea Silvio Piccolomini, humanist, diplomat and future Pope Pius II, and his connections with the regions between the Alps and the Adriatic. The event will be complemented by musical interludes featuring fifteenth-century repertoire.

On Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 6:00 PM, Palazzo Lantieri in Gorizia will host the presentation of the book Enea Silvio Piccolomini (Pius II) between the Alps and the Adriatic. In the Footsteps of the Great Humanist, published by Mladika and authored by Anja Božič and Jan Dominik Bogataj.

The volume examines the relationship between Enea Silvio Piccolomini (1405–1464), renowned humanist and future Pope Pius II, and the territories between the Alps and the Adriatic, with particular attention to present-day Slovenia and the County of Gorizia.

The discussion will be moderated by historian Renato Podbersič and enriched by musical interludes performed by soprano Helena Bregar and Domen Marinčič on the virginal, featuring fifteenth-century music from the Faenza Codex as well as works by Antoine Busnois and Johannes Ockeghem. The event will take place in the historic setting of Palazzo Lantieri, residence of the Levetzow Lantieri Piccolomini family.
