(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The exhibition ''Fascination of Trieste a
hundred years after Franz Ferdinand's final journey'' opened in
Buje (Croatia), organized by the cultural association ''Roots &
Future'' of Trieste within the project ''WW1 on land, at sea,
and in the air'', supported by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region
and included by the Council Presidency in the official programme
for the commemorations of the WW1 Centenary.
Laura Bologna and Francesco Zardini presented their comic strip
entitled ''Fascination of Trieste'', which is the focus of the
exhibition: a kind of reinterpretation, through the eyes of a
child today, of the solemn funeral procession of Franz Ferdinand
of Austria and his wife Sofia in the streets of Trieste, on July
2, 1914.
The exhibition, which has been already successfully hosted at
the United World College of the Adriatic in Duino/Devin, in
three high schools in Trieste and at the BG/BRG Kirchengasse in
Graz (Austria), will stay open at Buie until March 10, then will
move to Pula on the 17th, before going back to Trieste. About
330 students and 20 teachers from Italy, Austria and Croatia
are involved in the ''WW1 on land, at sea, and in the air''
initiative. (ANSA).
