MORJE ZIMSKIH DOŽIVETIJ – DECEMBER V NEKDANJEM SKLADIŠČU GRANDO
Fotografije prireditve za otroke, 9. decembra 2023, z naslovom Rudolf, jelenček z rdečim noskom, recital ob glasbi s harfo, ki sta ga pripravili Elisabetta Cancelli – pripovedovalka in Elisa Manzutto – irska harfa.
Organizator: Skupnost Italijanov “Giuseppe Tartini” Piran v sklopu prazničnega programa, ki ga pripravlja Občina Piran.
Prav tako v soboto, 9. decembra 2023, je v Sončnem parku v Luciji potekal Praznik svete Lucije, v organizaciji Krajevne skupnosti Lucija, na katerem so sodelovale ustvarjalne skupine Skupnosti Italijanov “Giuseppe Tartini” Piran in vrtec La Coccinella iz Pirana.
Pred najkrajšim dnevom v letu, ko tema povsem prevlada nad svetlobo, 13. decembra, praznujemo god svete Lucije. Pred uvedbo Gregorijanskega koledarja je najdaljša noč v letu sicer padla ravno na ta praznik, častili pa so ga kot zmago svetlobe nad temo, saj je sveta Lucija s seboj prinesla daljše dneve in z njimi vedno več svetlobe v življenje ljudi.
Starodavni zavetnici se vsako leto poklonijo tudi v istoimenski Luciji … oziroma na pol istoimenski, saj so po vojni imenu odvzeli njegovo svetost. S praznikom se tako vsaj nekoliko oddolžijo za to nevšečnost. V Krajevni skupnosti Lucija so se letos že sedemnajstič.
Začeli so že v soboto, 9. decembra 2023, in sveta Lucija se je očitno razveselila predčasnega praznovanja, saj je bil Sončni park ves dan obsijan s soncem, tako njeni kot prebivalci sosednjih krajev pa so zavetnico počastili s smehom, petjem, plesom, okušanjem slastnih bobičev in domače kapljice. Stojnica krajevne skupnosti, kjer so poskrbeli za obiskovalce tako, da so zadovoljili njihove brbončice, pa ni bila edina, ob kateri so se lahko ustavili.
Poleg ostalih društev iz okolice sta se z bogatima stojnicama predstavila tudi vrtec La Coccinella in Skupnost Italijanov Giuseppe Tartini Piran, kjer so obiskovalci lahko spoznali skupine, ki delujejo pod njihovim okriljem, in njihove čudovite izdelke, ki nastajajo izpod pridnih rok njihovih članov.
Družine z otroki so na praznik v park, obsijan s soncem, malce zamudili, saj so se na poti ustavili v Portorožu, kjer so v nekdanjem skladišču soli Grando prisluhnili čisto posebni predstavi. Med starodavnimi kamnitimi stenami, ki ne skoparijo z oddajanjem hladu, sta jih pogreli simpatični Elisabetta Cancelli in Elisa Manzutto. Prva je senzibilno pripovedovala zgodbo o »Rudolfu, jelenčku z rdečim nosom«, Elisa pa je njen glas okrasila z glasbo, ki jo je izvabljala iz svoje harfe. Slednjo je po kratki vaji spoznavanja not prepustila otrokom, da so se še sami preizkusili v igranju na to mogočno glasbilo. Predstava sicer sodi v sklop prazničnega programa Občine Piran, ki poteka pod naslovom Morje zimskih doživetij.
Čudovite izdelke s stojnice na prazniku svete Lucije so 13. decembra skupaj z drugimi, ki so jih ustvarili člani skupine Il filo d’oro, razstavili v Kreativnem inkubatorju Istra Italijanske unije, god zavetnice kraja pa so kronali s sveto mašo v tamkajšnji cerkvi in družabnim večerom, na katerem so predstavili knjigo “Il quaderno della cucina Adriatica” Zgodbe in okusi morja, zemlje, lagune, ki jo je napisal Andrea Svetez.
Sveta Lucija bo v prihodnje zagotovo zelo radodarna in bo krajanom Lucije namenila veliko svetlih trenutkov. Tako veliko, da bo svetloba obsijala tudi sosednje kraje in ljudi.

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
