The heart of the Barcolana Village has been opened

Meanwhile, the final preparations took place in the morning and the portion of the Barcolana Village located in Piazza Unità and Scala Reale were opened in the afternoon.

“Starting today, the heart of the Barcolana Village brings the sea to Piazza Unità,” commented Mitja Gialuz, “thanks to Deep Blue Exploration Zone, this year's great addition resulting from the collaboration between Wendy Schmidt and the Protected Marine Area of Miramare. It is an experience to see, to dive into, in order to understand the complexity, the allure but also the fragility of oceans and their connections to all life on our planet. It is a project which was named after Deep Blue, Wendy Schmidt's Botin 85, winner of the Barcolana 54, and which offers everyone a unique and fascinating opportunity in the Village of the Barcolana 56. The Village, like every year, will be waiting to be discovered; our staff at the Infopoint is ready to welcome visitors and give them all the information they need to experience in the best way possible the celebrations that will wind their way from Piazza Unità along the stands on the Rive. The Village is an essential and qualifying element of the Barcolana, and it is made possible thanks to the support and commitment of all the Institutions that have chosen to be here with us in Piazza Unità, the University of Trieste, Promoturismo, which promotes Trieste and our entire region at the Barcolana, and of course our partners, starting from Generali, as well as the exhibitors who, year after year, reconfirm their trust and commitment to the Barcolana Village. I would like to thank them all, also on behalf of the whole Barcolana.”
