Tra le tante novità che si trovano sugli scaffali delle librerie, noi proponiamo una selezione di libri che potete trovare in Casa Tartini per trascorrere qualche ora piacevole in questa calda estate.
Per coloro che sono interessati al patrimonio storico-culturale, proponiamo alcuni libri che sono stati già presentati a Pirano: il catalogo delle cisterne e delle fontanelle di Daniela Paliaga, Per piazze e cortili alla ricerca dell’acqua, e il libro del prof. Sergio Durante Tartini, Padova, l’Europa che racconta la vita di Giuseppe Tartini, grande virtuoso del violino nato a Pirano.
Anche le storie al femminile raccolte in Tutto al femminile, dell’autrice Elena Bulfon Bernetič, è stato presentato in Casa Tartini ai primi di giugno.
I racconti hanno per protagoniste donne alle prese con la vita di tutti i giorni. Nelle storie la scrittrice racconta delle preoccupazioni da sempre appartenenti alla sensibilità femminile: la relazione tra vita pubblica e vita privata, il rapporto tra i due sessi, la solitudine, l’amore, l’alienazione, la vecchiaia. I racconti potrebbero essere definiti racconto-diario, contraddistinti da una scrittura immediata e autobiografica, che riproduce la condizione e il linguaggio delle generazioni cresciute fra il periodo dello sfacelo dell’ex Jugoslavia e i giorni nostri.
E’ invece appena uscito l’ultimo romanzo di Maurizio Lo Re, Il treno da Mosca, per le edizioni Oltre. Scritto in uno stile che ricorda il miglior Graham Greene, il romanzo si inserisce in quel filone dei romanzi di avventura in cui quest’ultima non è fine a se stessa, bensì una riflessione profonda sull’inquietudine dell’uomo, eternamente costretto in una condizione di passione e contraddittorietà.
L’avvocato Lucio Manacorda, io narrante di questo romanzo, è uscito di recente da una grave crisi esistenziale e professionale. Ora è riuscito a riprendere in mano la propria vita, ma sente di dover affrontare ancora un’impresa per uscire dalla sua personale prigione. L’occasione si presenta quando gli capita di trovare sul treno una vecchia copia del romanzo Lucien Leuwen di Stendhal, in tempi lontani appartenuto a Lorenzo Stefani, un ufficiale italiano perso nel caos dell’8 settembre 1943, deportato in Germania…
E infine un’altra novità, questa volta dedicata lettori in erba – o agli adulti che non hanno smesso di sognare ad occhi aperti. Per le antiche vie / Po starodavnih ulicah, pubblicazione bilingue scritta da Lara Sorgo e impreziosita dalle illustrazioni di Miriam Elettra Vaccari che sarà presentata in autunno.
Buona lettura!

Med številnimi novostmi knjižnih polic vam ponujamo izbor knjig, ki jih lahko najdete v Tartinijevi hiši in z njimi preživite nekaj prijetnih uric tega vročega poletja.
Za tiste, ki jih zanima kulturno-zgodovinska dediščina, priporočamo nekaj knjig, ki so že bile predstavljene v Piranu: katalog vodnjakov Daniele Paliaga »Po trgih in dvoriščih v iskanju vode« in knjigo prof. Sergia Duranteja »Tartini, Padova, Evropa«, ki pripoveduje o življenju Giuseppeja Tartinija, velikega violinista, rojenega v Piranu.
Tudi zgodbe žensk, zbrane v knjigi »Tutto al femminile«, avtorice Elene Bulfon Bernetič, so bile v začetku junija predstavljene v Tartinijevi hiši.
Zgodbe govorijo o ženskah, ki se spopadajo z vsakdanjim življenjem. V njih se pisateljica dotakne vprašanj, ki so od nekdaj pripadale občutljivemu svetu žensk: usklajevanje javnega in zasebnega življenja, odnos med spoloma, osamljenost, ljubezen, odtujenost, staranje. Zgodbam bi lahko rekli tudi dnevniški zapisi, za katere je značilno avtobiografsko pripovedovanje z obujanjem življenja in jezika generacij, ki so odraščale v obdobju med nekdanjo Jugoslavijo in današnjim dnem.
Pravkar je izšel tudi zadnji roman avtorja Maurizia Lo Reja, Il treno da Mosca (Vlak iz Moskve), ki ga je izdala založba Oltre.
Napisan v slogu, ki spominja na Grahama Greena, se roman uvršča med pustolovske pripovedi, ki niso same sebi namen, temveč ponujajo globok razmislek o nestanovitnosti človeka, večno tavajočega med strastmi in protislovji.
Odvetnik Lucio Manacorda, ki roman pripoveduje, je pred kratkim premostil resno eksistencialno in poklicno krizo. Čeprav ima vajeti svojega življenja znova v rokah, se mu zdi, da se še vedno ni osvobodil okov osebnega zapora. Priložnost za pobeg se pojavi, ko na vlaku najde star izvod Stendhalovega romana Lucien Leuwen. Ta je nekoč pripadal Lorenzu Stefaniju, italijanskemu častniku, ki se je izgubil v kaosu 8. septembra 1943, bil deportiran v Nemčijo …
Za konec še ena novost, namenjena mlajšim bralcem ali odraslim, ki še vedno sanjajo z odprtimi očmi. Per le antiche vie / Po starodavnih ulicah, dvojezična publikacija Lare Sorgo, obogatena z ilustracijami Miriam Elettre Vaccari, ki bo predstavljena jeseni.
Prijetno branje!
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
