Barcolana54 presented by Generali presented in Koper

The international roadshow of Barcolana54 presented by Generali has ended with a press conference held in Koper. After the events in Munich and Vienna, both organised with the support of SIOT-TAL (the Italian Society for the Transalpine Pipeline), as well as in Berlin, organised thanks to Generali, the Barcolana’s presenting partner, the Autumn Cup was presented to the Slovenian audience in the VIP hall of the Grand Koper Hotel in Koper.

The 54th edition will take place on 9 October 2022 in Trieste, following 10 days of events in the city. Registration for the regatta is already open on our website www.barcolana.it. Slovenia continues to play a key role in the event, thanks to the sports performances of the helmspeople and skippers who have participated and won over the years and to the “Go To Barcolana from Slovenia - I Feel Slovenia”, organised in collaboration with Club Nautico Triestino Sirena - Tržaški Pomorski Klub Sirena (Trieste's Sirena Sailing Club), the Slovenian Sailing Federation - Slovenska Jadralna Zveza, and the Union of Slovenian Sporting Clubs in Italy - ZSŠDI.

The race will begin on Saturday 8 October in Piran and will end in the afternoon off Piazza Unità d'Italia. Afterwards, the crews will be welcomed and awarded, as is customary. This is a well-established event that has also inspired the “Go To Barcolana from Ravenna - Hera Cup”, the regatta going from the Western Adriatic Sea to the Barcolana, from Ravenna to Trieste.

“‘Go to Barcolana from Slovenia - I Feel Slovenia’,” said the Barcolana’s Director Piero Zecchini, “is one of the events we are most fond of, so much so that we developed other regattas with that same format. We invited Slovenian sailors to take part in the ‘Go to Barcolana from Slovenia’ as a safe and fun way to reach Trieste on the eve of the Barcolana, where they receive an enthusiastic welcome from our audience every year.”
