An Evening Dedicated to Town Poets
An Evening of Poetry and Music: In Memory of Šoljan and Zanini
A warm, starlit July night was the ideal scenery for recalling the two great literary bards, two peots who used their literary and poetic expression to glorify the beauties of Rovinj, its people, shores, islands and the sea.
Moderator of the evening and a well known poet who is also the president of the Istrian Writers’ Association, Daniel Načinović, told verses by Luigi Zanini and Antun Šoljan. Young Marija Lucija Forišek provided inspired assistance in the reading, and a true concert atmosphere was provided by the members of “Teranka”, a female harmony-singing group from Pula.
The world of poetry is the world that connects them. Their
poems praised rocks, reefs, seagulls, fishermen and the sea, which was
a symbol of
life and eternal voyage for both of them, Načinović pointed out.
The literary evening dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Šoljan’s
death was organized by Pučko Otvoreno Učilište (public teaching establishment).
