We asked managers of the European capitals of culture from 2022 to 2025, five same questions to understand their expectations in a clear and concise way. Each interview is preceded by a fact sheet on that European capital of culture. The format is the same for all. At the end of the series of interviews we will try to make a synthesis of objectives, trends, expectations by the Ecocs. After NoviSad2022, Esch2022, Kaunas2022 , Veszprem2023, Eleusis2023, Timisoara2023, Tartu2024, Bodø2024 and Bad Ischl – Salzkammergut 2024, today we talk about Nova Gorica - Gorizia, European capital of culture 2025.

Se la Germania ha già deciso che la capitale europea della cultura per il 2025 sarà Chemnitz, la Slovenia ancora dovrà scegliere fra le quattro città entrate in short list: Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, Piran e Ptuj.
