Tomorrow the great event gets into full swing

Piazza dell'Unità and the Scala Reale area will be the absolute centre of celebrations with the opening of temporary stores, the Infopoint, lounges, and many spaces for the public. “This year more than ever,” President Gialuz explained, “we have been working to improve the quality of the Barcolana Village and to propose, together with our partners, interesting spaces and opportunities to gather. One of the new additions will be the installation in the bay of Sistiana of a ‘mini village’ offering typical local products, aimed to provide support to the boats mooring and getting ready for the upcoming races.

At 7.00 p.m. tomorrow a great appointment will take place: the free concert by Subsonica, to be held in Piazza Ponterosso.

SOLARIS, PIAZZA UNITÀ HOSTS THE SOLARIS 50 - Through great teamwork, during the night a Solaris 50 will be moved from the Aquileia shipyards to Piazza Unità, where it will remain for the entire event. “It is a dream come true,” said President Gialuz. “Having a Solaris boat in Piazza Unità is a great honour for the Barcolana and for the whole of Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s blue economy. We consider it as a true monument to the local shipbuilding industry – every year Solaris brings its boats to Düsseldorf, Europe's leading boat show, in the same way so that the public can see them up close. It is wonderful to have the chance to show this masterwork at the Barcolana.” The boat, which is one of the shipyard’s most successful models, will leave from Aquileia at 10 p.m. tonight as an oversized load, and it will be installed in Piazza Unità during the night, where it will remain on display and will be celebrated until 13 October, also thanks to the support of Fondazione Aquileia.
