GECT GO, the entity responsible for relations between Slovenia and Italy, has published the third call for proposals under the Small Projects Fund, financed by the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia Program 2021-2027. 

From many places, especially in the media, especially in Italy, there is talk of Gorizia as one of the European capitals of culture for 2025. Nothing could be more wrong. Or almost. Certainly clarity is needed because the beautiful project of Nova Gorica, European Capital of Culture 2025 for Slovenia, which also included Gorizia, created some confusion.

The European Carnival 2025 promises to be an unforgettable event, combining tradition, culture and music in a grand international celebration. The main event will take place in Gorizia on February 22, but will be preceded by a special preview in Trieste on February 21, 2025, marking a festive start to this unique edition.

The first "cross-border" European capital of culture opened in Nova Gorica and Gorizia, on the border between Slovenia and Italy, in the presence of the highest officials of the two states.

‘From station to station' is the title of the ceremony that will open the European Capital of Culture year of Gorizia - Nova Gorica from 10 a.m. on 8 February. The other European Capital of Culture for 2025 is the German Chemnitz.
