Regatta Barcolana 54 was officially presented in Barcolana’s headquarters, Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano.
“I’m so excited to be here. It’s my 9th Barcolana but somehow this edition feels more special,” said Mitja Gialuz, the patron of regatta Barcolana.
“This is going to be a different Barcolana than the last 2 years,” chimed in president Fedriga. “It will get its spirit back. Barcolana is a big party for people, when everyone wants to stay together. In the past two years we weren’t able to do what will be able to do this year. It’s a grand international event. We are aware that events like these give enormous value to Friuli Venezia Giulia.”
“Barcolana is the time the city comes alive,” said the head of Trieste’s Port, Zeno D’Agostino. “We are especially in need of peace and fun now. This is the message that in this historical moment is especially important to convey.“ said Zeno D’Agostino.
“This is my 21st presentation of Barcolana. It’s a beautiful moment for the city, let’s make the most of it,” added mayor Dipiazza.
One of this year’s novelty is the possibility of boats to support a charity while taking part in the regatta, together with onlus “Rete del dono”.
“This year’s other novelty is that everyone will be invited to send in their ideas for the “off sea” events,” said Gialuz. “As always, many events will take over Trieste during the Barcolana week, from Barcolana Swim to Barcolana by night.”
