Piranska skupnost italijanske narodnosti je bila vedno močno vpeta v kulturno dogajanje v občini. Njene kulturno-umetniške skupine so gostovale tudi izven Pirana in celo v tujini, kjer so predstavljale njegovo bogato kulturno dediščino. V Tartinijevi hiši je bilo ves čas zelo pestro, saj se je v njenih sobanah vselej kaj dogajalo. Medtem ko so nekje plesali, šivali, risali ali igrali kitaro, so drugje peli, pletli, vadili novo gledališko predstavo, oblikovali čudovite izdelke iz keramike in podobno. Vse do tistega marca, ko so bile vse skupine prisiljene prekiniti s svojimi aktivnostmi.
Dogajanje v eni najlepših hiš v Piranu in okolici je znova oživelo šele jeseni 2021, ko so se skupine vrnile k svojim rednim aktivnostim, ki pa kljub velikemu entuziazmu niso potekale brez težav. O tem, kako je v njihovo delovanje posegla epidemija in vse različice novega virusa ter kaj jim bo kljub vsemu ostalo najbolj v spominu, smo povprašali mentorje skupin, ki svoj prosti čas radodarno namenjajo prenašanju svojega znanja in veščin na druge.
Ena takih je gotovo Giorgina Rebol, brez katere bi bogato dediščino solin in solinarstva na piranskem področju poznalo veliko manj ljudi, kot jih po njeni zaslugi. Giorgina in druge članice in člani skupine La famea dei salineri (Solinarska družina) so namreč vedno pripravljeni sodelovati vsakič, ko je treba ljudem predstaviti solinarsko tradicijo. V času epidemije je njihovo poslanstvo mirovalo, saj je bilo veliko dogodkov odpovedanih. Giorgina se je z grenkobo v srcu spomnila na tradicionalne praznike, kot so solinarski, praznik kakijev, artičok, pa tudi na srečanja na šolah, v vrtcih in knjižnicah.
‘Da se ne bi preveč odtujili, temveč obdržali stike, smo se dobili na soku ali kavi in kakšno rekli. Ves ta čas smo ostali v stiku, čakajoč na boljše čase,’ je dejala.
S čakanjem so nehali poleti, ko so sodelovali v projektu Solinarska kulinarika (La cucina delle saline), jeseni pa še pri Dnevih evropske kulturne dediščine 2021 s projektom Dober tek (Buon apetito). Giorgina je prav tako obudila spomine na še eno snemalno izkušnjo, saj je eno izmed osrednjih vlog v seriji oddaj Regionalnega programa RTV Slovenija z naslovom La cucina dei nostri nonni (Kuhinja naših non) imela prav La famea dei salineri.
‘Najlepše je bilo, ko smo se s prijatelji srečali v naših solinah. Predstavili smo našo kulinariko in se spomnili časov, ko je tam bivalo veliko pridnih solinarjev in njihovih družin,’ je še poudarila Giorgina Rebol.
Tudi v skupini Al tempo di Tartini (V Tartinijevem času) niso ušli krempljem novega virusa. Kot je dejala Daniela Ipsa, ki jo poznamo tudi kot mamo Tartini, ni bilo prav nič prijetno prestavljati tedenska srečanja skupine in vsa sodelovanja na že dogovorjenih dogodkih ter ‘upati, da bo le prišlo do tiste dokončne spremembe, ko bomo lahko uresničili projekte, ki smo si jih zamislili’.
Pred zloglasnim zaprtjem marca 2020 je skupina, ki skuša ohranjati dediščino 18. stoletja, torej časa, v katerem je živel tudi znameniti Giuseppe Tartini, sodelovala na vseh kulturnih dogodkih, ki jih že tradicionalno pripravljajo v italijanski skupnosti. Bili so pri prevzemu oblasti ob začetku pusta, na velikem pustnem plesu, s svojo prisotnostjo so obogatili koncert v strunjanski Tartinijevi vili ter sodelovali v televizijskih oddajah in videopredstavitvah.
Tako kot Giorgina je tudi Daniela izpostavila pomen druženja, srečevanja, stikov. To, kar najbrž vsi najbolj pogrešamo.
‘Srečanja v živo, izmenjava zamisli in mnenj, druženje … Ne nazadnje so bile vse naše izkušnje edinstvene in neponovljive. Če pa že moram izbrati, bi izpostavila neposreden prenos oddaje Dobro jutro na TV Slovenija, kjer so bile prisotne vse skupine naše skupnosti, takoj zatem pa predstavitveni video igralcev in statistov v Pretorski palači, s katerim smo dobili priložnost, da se predstavimo obiskovalcem in turistom,’ je še dejala gospa Tartini.

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
