In data odierna, nell’anno 1770, moriva Giuseppe Tartini, violinista, compositore, insegnante di musica e teorico musicale. Giuseppe Tartini nacque l’8 aprile 1692, in una casa nella piazza centrale di Pirano che oggi prende il nome dalla famiglia Tartini ed è dichiarata monumento culturale di architettura borghese.
È sepolto a Padova, accanto alla moglie, nella chiesa di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria. Circa un mese dopo la sua morte, Giulio Meneghini, successore e studente prediletto di Tartini, che dopo il pensionamento dell’insegnante divenne a sua volta maestro di concerto dell’orchestra della Basilica di Sant’Antonio a Padova, gli dedicò una messa funebre. La solenne cerimonia si svolse il 31 marzo 1770 nella Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi, molti musicisti resero omaggio al violinista e suo amico Francesco Antonio Vallotti, compositore, organista e maestro di capella, scrisse per l’occasione un inno. Dopo la cerimonia religiosa, il giovane abate Francesco Fanzago lesse un’orazione funebre davanti alla tomba aperta. L’orazione fu presto stampata, vi furono aggiunti degli appunti e un’acquaforte con il ritratto di Tartini. Grazie a questa orazione, oggi conosciamo molti dettagli della vita del violinista. Una copia del libretto con l’orazione si trova nella Collezione museale di Giuseppe Tartini, custodita dal Museo del mare “Sergej Mašera” Pirano, e fa parte del Percorso museale nella Casa Tartini. Nell’ambito del progetto europeo tARTini (Interreg Slovenia-Italia) il libretto con l’orazione funebre assieme ad altro materiale è stato scannerizzato e pubblicato sul sito www.discovertartini.eu.
Na današnji dan, leta 1770, je umrl Giuseppe Tartini, violinist, skladatelj, glasbeni pedagog, glasbeni teoretik. Rojen je bil v Piranu, 8. aprila 1692, v hiši na osrednjem piranskem trgu, ki je danes poimenovana po družini Tartini in razglašena za kulturni spomenik meščanske arhitekture.
Pokopan je v Padovi, poleg svoje žene, v cerkvi svete Katarine Aleksandrijske. Približno mesec dni po njegovi smrti, je njegov naslednik in najljubši gojenec, Giulio Meneghini, ki je po učiteljevi upokojitvi postal koncertni mojster orkestra bazilike svetega Antona v Padovi, mojstru posvetil pogrebno mašo. Svečani obred je potekal 31. marca 1770 v Cerkvi Marijinih služabnikov (Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi), maestru so se poklonili številni glasbeniki, Tartinijev prijatelj-skladatelj, organist in kapelski mojster-Francesco Antonio Vallotti pa je zanj napisal hvalnico. Po verskem obredu je mlad opat Francesco Fanzago prebral govor ob odprtem grobu. Govor je bil kmalu tudi natisnjen, dodane so mu bile opombe in jedkanica s Tartinijevim portretom. Zahvaljujoč temu govoru danes poznamo marsikatero podrobnost iz violinistovega življenja. Izvod drobne knjižice s pogrebnim govorom si lahko ogledate v Muzejski zbirki Giuseppeja Tartinija, za katero skrbi Pomorski muzej “Sergej Mašera” Piran in je del Muzejske poti v Hiši Tartini. V okviru evropskega projekta tARTini (Interreg Slovenija-Italija) je bila knjižica s posmrtnim govorom, skupaj z drugim gradivom, tudi skenirana in objavljena na spletni strani www.discovertartini.eu.
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
