Friuli Venezia Giulia and Czech Republic. A future to share in the heart of Europe
Since 2021, Associazione Mitteleuropa has been enhancing the rich programme of theatre, music, dance and circus performances staged by Mittelfest by organising an important event of institutional friendship, a forum for dialogue and meetings between Friuli Venezia Giulia and foreign countries, thus confirming the special relations of this region with countries that are close to it in terms of geography, history and culture.
In 2021, special guest was Slovenia, with the honour of the presence of the President of the Republic Borut Pahor. In 2022 it was the turn of Austria and in 2023 of Hungary on the occasion of Veszprém, European Capital of Culture 2023. In 2024, the guest country of the forum is the Czech Republic, whose connection with the Italian area of Mitteleuropa dates back centuries.
