Una persona umile e riservata, profondamente religiosa e attaccata alla famiglia. È così che possiamo immaginare la figura del pittore triestino di origini piranesi, Ireneo Ravalico, come ci è stato raccontato dai figli presenti all’inaugurazione della mostra ieri, martedì 11 giugno in Casa Tartini. Dopo gli indirizzi di saluto da parte della Presidente della Comunità degli Italiani “Giuseppe Tartini” nonché Vicesindaco del Comune di Pirano, Manuela Rojec, del Presidente della Comunità Autogestita della Nazionalità Italiana di Pirano, Andrea Bartole, si è entrati nel vivo della mostra con il discorso di Kristjan Knez, Presidente del Centro Carlo Combi di Capodistria e Vicepresidente della Comunità degli Italiani “Giuseppe Tartini”, che ha parlato del periodo storico in cui ha operato il pittore. Fabrizio Stefanini, ex professore di Lettere di Trieste, ha invece proposto al pubblico una sua lettura critica delle opere di Ravalico.
Ireneo Ravalico (1922-2014) fu il penultimo figlio di una numerosa famiglia di origini piranesi trasferitasi presto a Trieste per ragioni economiche. L’attaccamento alla madre e una religiosità fortemente sentita sono due tratti che caratterizzano la personalità del giovane pittore. Sarà ammesso all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia conseguendo un diploma che lo abiliterà a insegnare nella scuola.
Il ciclo scelto da esporre a Pirano riguarda soprattutto opere che ritraggono barche e il mare, due dei soggetti preferiti di Ravalico. Ma nei racconti dei figli, l’appartamento e lo studio del pittore conservavano tantissime tele e disegni di cui loro stessi non sapevano l’esistenza. Una vita passata a dipingere, la grande vocazione di un uomo che ha vissuto periodi difficili come quello del secondo conflitto mondiale e del dopoguerra.
La mostra rimane aperta al pubblico fino al 31 luglio, da lunedì a venerdì, dalle 9-13 e/o su richiesta.

Skromen, zadržan, globoko veren in družinski človek. Tako sta tržaškega slikarja piranskih korenin, Irenea Ravalica, opisala njegova otroka, sin in hči, ki sta se udeležila odprtja razstave v Tartinijevi hiši.
Po pozdravnih nagovorih Manuele Rojec, predsednice Skupnosti Italijanov Giuseppe Tartini Piran in podžupanje Občine Piran, in Andree Bartola, predsednika Samoupravne skupnosti italijanske narodnosti Piran, smo prisluhnili Kristjanu Knezu, predsedniku Kulturnega središča Carlo Combi iz Kopra in podpredsedniku piranske skupnosti Giuseppe Tartini, ki je podal zgodovinski okvir slikarjevega ustvarjanja, za njim pa je Fabrizio Stefanini, nekdanji profesor jezikoslovja iz Trsta, z občinstvom delil svoj pogled na Ravalicova dela.
Ireneo Ravalico (1922-2014) se je rodil kot predzadnji otrok v številni piranski družini, ki pa se je zaradi ekonomskih razlogov kmalu preselila v Trst. Osrednji osebnostni lastnosti mladega slikarja sta bili navezanost na mater in globoka vera. Obiskoval je beneško akademijo za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje in po diplomi začel s poučevanjem na šoli.
Na razstavi v Piranu so na ogled dela, na katerih prevladujejo barke in morje, motiva, ki sta imela pri Ravalicovem ustvarjanju poseben prostor. A kot sta povedala njegova otroka, sta v slikarjevem stanovanju in ateljeju našla še veliko slik in risb, o čigar obstoju nista vedela ničesar. Življenje, posvečeno slikanju. Veliko poslanstvo človeka, ki je preživel težki obdobji druge svetovne vojne in povojnega časa.
Razstava bo na ogled do 31. julija, obiščete jo lahko od ponedeljka do petka, med 9. in 13. uro ali po predhodnem dogovoru.
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
