(ANSA) - GORIZIA, 18 DEC - Nova Gorica and Gorizia will be European Capital of Culture 2025. The announcement of the Slovenian Comitat took place a few minutes ago.

The news was received with a roar in Piazza della Transalpina, where the inhabitants of the two border towns gathered.


   Ljubljana, Piran and Ptuj also remained in contention.


    European Capital of Culture is an honorary title conferred each year to two cities belonging to two different member states of the European Union.

The aim of the initiative is to protect the wealth and diversity of European culture, to enhance the characteristics common to the populations and to develop a system that can generate an important economic result.


    Together with Nova Gorica and Gorizia, just designated by the Slovenian Committee, for 2025 the choice fell on Chemnitz, a German city located almost on the border with the Czech Republic which suffered very serious damage during the Second World War.
