When there is stress, it helps to cheer yourself up by planning something fun. That is what the mayor of Trieste is currently doing. And our Federal President should also be there.
Trieste is planning a “concert of the three presidents” led by Riccardo Muti. 15 years after a major concert attended on July 13, 2010 by the then Italian head of state Giorgio Napolitano, his then Slovenian counterpart Danilo Turk and the former president of Croatia, Ivo Josipovic, the mayor of Trieste, Roberto Dipiazza, is planning a similar peace initiative. He also wants to invite Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen.
The concert will take place on the same day as in 2010 in Trieste’s main square, Piazza dell ‘Unitá. Muti will conduct again this time. The mayor of Trieste wants to send invitations to the presidents this week, the Trieste daily “Il Piccolo” reported on Monday.
Initiative of the Mayor of Trieste
“We will invite the presidents of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia and this time also of Austria: we are working on it. It will be a historic moment: we will forget the wounds of the 20th century and set a sign of peace for all of Europe,” emphasizes Mayor Dipiazza, initiator of the concert.
July 13 has a symbolic meaning for Trieste. On July 13, 1920, the Slovenian People’s House (Narodni Cathedral) in Trieste was set on fire. On July 13, 2020, a historic meeting took place between Italian President Sergio Mattarella and then Slovenian President Borut Pahor.
