Pula's new cultural tourism product, "The living images of Austro-Hungarian Pula", to take place on 12-14 September, was presented at a news conference at the city's Italian Union earlier in the week.
The event will have its culmination on 13 September at the Small Roman Theatre venue, where the world-famous Strauss Capelle Vienna orchestra will give a concert to mark the 199th birth anniversary of the "king of waltz", Johann Strauss. Pula will thus host an all-night concert in tribute to the great composer before the rest of the world, a year before the great anniversary.
The three-day cultural event will take back its residents and visitors to the times of the Hapsburg monarchy, which left a deep mark on the biggest Istrian city, said Ivna Bevanda Strah, the initiator of the project, noting that "Pula is a great monument of the times of the Austro-Hungarian rule."
This is still evidenced by the grand villas and other structures in the city, which, along with storytelling, dance, music and local cuisine will help bring back the atmosphere of one of its best time periods during the three-day event, Bevanda Strah said.
